Monument record TQ 57 SW 212 - Roman Trackway, Dartford

Summary

Excavation at St. Saviour's Avenue revealed a Roman metalled surface, but it does not seem likely that this was Watling Street. It was probably instead the remains of a subsidiary trackway leading from the main road and the search for the latter must therefore continue.
