The soilmarks described above, postulated to be the remains of a road - possibly a Roman road - are visible on aerial photographs (S1). They appear to correspond with field boundaries depicted on the Ordnance Survey 2nd edition 25-inch map (S2) between TG 0560 0369 and TG 0601 0359. Thus while the possibility that they represent part of a road of whatever date cannot be ruled out entirely, there is little evidence to support this interpretation. As a consequence they have not been mapped by the NMP, although the Monument Polygon for the site has been altered to incorporate the former field boundaries. See too NHER 8893 with which the site overlaps.
