Monument record TR 35 NW 804 - Roman road, crop marks

The cropmark remains of a possible length road (possibly Roman) mapped from aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: Richborough Environs Project

The cropmark remains of a linear feature, possibly the agger of a Roman road which were visible as a positive feature. It is aligned NNE-SSW and can be traced for 118m. It appears to be on the same alignment and may be part of a fragmented linear of which three further possible sections can be traced to the north-east. These features appear to be aligned directly on the the vicus and Roman fort of Richborough and could be the fragmented remains of one of the roads from Richborough. The separate sections have been recorded in NMR TR35NW 195 and 196. (1)
