Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
July 1976. Field visit.
Roman coarse ware and large flints, possibly from a building, have been found during ploughing by Mr P.W. Minter of Hole Farm, Bulmer, in the field behind 'Old House' at TL 819357. The suggested course of a Roman road passes through this field, but it was under crop and further investigation was not possible. <1>
<1> states "suggested course of a Roman road passes through this field" and show "RR 33a" heading north-east to link up with a fairly straight stretch of modern road at TL 838394, but they do not state their source. <2> <3>
