NO 2893 4606 to NO 2944 4634 The speculated Roman road as drawn on the current edition of the (NMRS record map) OS 1:10,000 map (1977) can be observed in aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1976, 1977, 1982, 1988, 1989, 1990,1993, 1994) as overlaying Cardean Roman Fort (NO24NE 12). Also, this road does not coincide with the presumed road contemporary with Cardean fort leading out of a gateway.
