A low causeway 5-6m wide, which may well be the Roman road, may be seen in Corsincon Wood, N of the modern road.

Although traces of old roads can be seen in various places W of Lyne, notably just inside the S edge of Corsincon Wood, none of these possesses the cambered mound characteristic of a Roman causeway, and most of them are patently of medieval or later date.
