Full Description
PRN 50577
LINE OF ROMAN ROAD FROM OWMBY TO CLAXBY. LINE OF FLAGGED PAVING SEEN AT TF 069916 - TF 100932. {1}{2}{3}{4}
NO TRACE OF A METALLED ROAD OR CONTEMPORARY REMAINS WAS REVEALED DURING MONITORING OF PIPELINE WORKS AT TF09819312. THE TARMAC TRACK LEADING TO WOOD COTTAGE OVERLAY A SERIES OF DEPOSITS CONTAINING BRICK FRAGMENTS WHICH SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN LAID FOR AN EARLIER TRACK VERY SLIGHTLY TO THE NORTH OF THE PRESENT TRACK. ALTHOUGH THIS WATCHING BRIEF FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF A ROMAN ROAD, THIS DEMONSTRATION THAT A ROAD HERE SURVIVED UNTIL LAST CENTURY DOES NOT DISMISS THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT WAS THE SUCCESSOR TO A ROMAN ROUTE. IT IS SUGGESTED, HOWEVER, THAT THE ALIGNMENT OF BOUNDARIES COULD REPRESENT A NATURAL JUNCTION BETWEEN TRACTABLE AND WET GROUND ALONGSIDE A SMALL STREAM.{5}{6}
