Type and Period
Description
Probable line of Roman road from Great Chesterford to Radwinter. An exposed portion of a bank of a ditch running alongside this probable alignment disclosed a layer of chalk rubble 0.3m below the surface and some large 'cobble stones' were observed in the side of the bank at the bottom of the ditch. It is possible, however, that this chalk rubble may have been laid as a surface for a modern cart track. <1> - <3>
