Description
Possible Roman road, RRX 119 q, Lambourne-Harlow - For full details including bibliography see Ordnance Survey Linear Archive file (RRX 119 q), held at NMRC. <1>
At TL 469 106. Sections across linear features, running parallel to the parish boundary, produced Roman tile and pottery and showed shallow ditches rising to an unmetalled road surface. Root disturbance prevented recording a section right across the road. Fieldwork suggests these features form the main route from the Holbrooks Temple site (TL41SE6) to a known kiln in Epping Forest. <2>
Information from NRHE import.
These excavations had previously been recorded under EHER 3582.
