NHER 9862 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Possible line of former road of uncertain date, could be Roman or medieval to post medieval

25 June 1974.
Old road? marked on (S1), running southwest to northeast. C. J. S. Green (NCM) left a note (with only a vague grid reference) to dark cropmarks on either side of the east to west hedgebank that this road joins, suggesting perhaps a continuation eastwards on a different alignment.

The central grid reference for this site has been altered from TG 2452 0392 to TG 2444 0388.
The cropmarks of a probable road and/or field boundary of either Roman or medieval to post medieval date are visible on aerial photographs to the north of Caistor Lane, Caistor St Edmund (S2-S4). The site is centred on TG 2444 0388. The road or boundary clearly pre-dates the field boundaries depicted on the 1840 Caistor St Edmund Tithe map (S5). The linear runs along a sinuous course from TG 2430 0388 to TG 2464 0393 and is up to 5m wide. A broadly perpendicular bank or branch track is also visible. The date of this road or track is uncertain. The route is to the immediate east of the Caistor Roman temple complex (NHER 9787) and numerous Roman date objects have been discovered within this general area. See NHER 52313-4 for a possible continuation of this road or track to the east.
