Monument record TR 36 SW 520 - The faint cropmark trace of part of the Roman road from Richborough to Canterbury.

The cropmark faint traces of a linear feature c. 73m in length situated to the west of Castle Farm which is almost certainly the remains of the Roman road leading out of the Roman vicus associated with the Roman fort of Richborough towards Fleet Farm and beyond to Canterbury. The feature was visible as a cropmark on recent aerial photographs. This site was mapped at 1:2500 scale as part of the English Heritage: Richborough Environs Project. (1)

Historic england archive material: AF00055 Richborough Environs Project A 1:2500 scale air photographic survey of Richborough Roman fort and its environs was carried out as part of a Multi-disciplinary research project initiated by English Heritage Centre for Archaeology. The aim of the project was to establish the extent, morphology and complexity of the settlement in the area under active ploughing between the Saxon Shore fort and the amphitheatre. The combined results of the aerial survey, the geophysical surveys and small scale excavations undertaken by the CfA will be used to improve the interpretation, management and presentation of the site.
