Description
Course of Roman road. <1>
Conjectural prolongation of the Roman road from Thaxted to Radwinter. Ordnance Survey card suggests more likely course of road would be to Great Chesterford from Radwinter, the change of direction being in square TL6037 but no evidence of a road in this square. <2>
Could be part of a road from Colchester to Great Chesterford but the course is not clear. <3>
Course of Roman road. <4>
Conjectural alignment, no trace or surface indications. <5>
Presumably the same road as No 5 in the VCH, linking with OS card TL53NE07. This is the Colchester-Great Chesterford road . <3>
