There is no trace of this road across this sheet. Its course may have approximated to the county boundary or drove road in the vicinity of Groundistone Height (NT 497 201).
(See NT30NE 8 for details of possible course.)
Visited by OS (BS) 11 April 1975.
NT 495 202 to NT 460 177 A report has been compiled from search-surveys made in May and July 1981, November 1984 and February 1995 variously by F Newall and W Lonie, with D Mackinnon and M Sinclair. The route of the Roman road from Harelaw to Groundistone Height was traced across the main road at NT 4957 2024 continuing SW as a broad cambered way. Throughout its route it passes under enclosing banks and droveways, often later routes sharing the earlier line of the road.
A full report is lodged with NMRS. Landowners and tenants along the way are thanked for their interest.
