Type and Period
Description
Information from NRHE import:
Roman road suggested by Rodwell as reasonably definite from Radwinter to Finchingfield, and thereafter conjectural. For details see Ordnance Survey Linear Archive. <1>
The northernmost part of this conjectured route is close to but does not correlate exactly with EHER 47311.
A fragment of trackway visible as a pair of parallel linear features at Anso Corner (EHER 1576) may be part of this road.
