Possible Roman Road N of Little Alne

Description of this historic site

The line of a road, possibly dating to the Roman period. A length of possible Roman Road is indicated by some findings made on Pennyford Hall Farm, south-west of Wootton Wawen, during archaeological work in connection with The Wooton Wawen Project (1983-1990).

Notes about this historic site

1 It is reported that in 1985, in one of the fields of Pennyford Hall Farm, part of a Roman road was found. This road may have run between Ryknild Street and the Roman settlement at Tiddington. In Wootton Wawen and adjoining parishes its course appears to be marked in several ways. It is reported that the length of road found on Pennyford Hall Farm may be followed for over a kilometre as a low but distinct ridge-like feature.
