Full Description
March 2009. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a section of the eighteenth century Pike Road (NHER 9741) running through Dunston Park are visible on aerial photographs (S1-S3). See NHER 9741 for discussion of the overall route of this road. The site is centred on TG 2232 0172. This road branches out to the northeast from the line of the Roman Pye road (NHER 7947 and 52170), which continued in use until the nineteenth century, as it runs through Dunston Park. The straight line of the Roman road deviates just to the south of this point to form a slightly curved course. A second stretch of road appears to branch out from this location towards Susah's Wood, this may represent a road or track relating to the park layout.
