Full description
August 2021. Aylsham and Brampton Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Sections of probable Roman road are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs and as earthworks on visualised lidar data. It is likely that the features are part of the Roman road recorded more broadly as NHER 2796. The features are clearly visible as cropmarks on the aerial photographs with the eastern sections seen as very low earthworks on the visualised lidar data. Some of the sections of Roman road may be cut by possible later boundary ditches (NHER 64224 and 64227). Further earthwork sections of Roman road can be seen continuing on Marsham Heath to the east (NHER 64216)
