Cropmarks tentatively interpreted as possible Roman road, Millhill Farm (EHER 247)

Possible course of Roman road showing as a cropmark. Considered by Historic England to be a probable pylon line.

Possible course of Roman road showing as a cropmark. <1>-<5> TL 59463148 - TL 59993168. Cropmark of possible Roman road. (No aerial photographs available in Essex County Archaeologist's Office; no further details). <6> 1975. Field Survey. The suggested route of the Roman road was investigated on the ground, but no road features are apparent, and no significant finds were made either by the investigator or by the landowners contacted along the line. It is significant that the suggested course is precisely on a pylon line, and it seems likely that the latter has been mis-identified on an air photo as a Roman road. <7> Information from NRHE import. The mapping of this record has become somewhat unclear. Prior to merging the NRHE data this record was mapped as two points located at TL 5950 3152 and TL 6017 3229. A line running from TL 5945 3148 to TL 5999 2317 was added from the NRHE GIS dataset. The NRHE record refers to the old SMR number, TL53-83 <6>. It is unclear which of these map objects is correct, but it is possible that the original location of the points on the SMR was altered to align with EHER 7310 which is another Roman road.
