Summary

A possible linear trackway is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs on land to the north of Grange Farm, Spixworth. A second possible trackway or road is visible on the same alignment, 824m to the southwest (NHER 53608), which may date to the medieval to post medieval period, but may be Roman in date, and it is therefore possible that this feature is also Roman in date.

This feature is probably represented by the ditch picked up in evaluation in advance of aggregates extraction (NHER 39675) which produced post medieval pottery and tile.
