Full description

Stocker, S., 2017, Observations on the Roman Road between North Tawton and Okehampton (Report - non-specific). SDV360960.

Conjectural crosing point of the Roman road over the river Taw, based on a straight alignment from the known road surface across the Taw flood plain. There is some evidence from field boundaries that the river has changed course here and the exact crossing point has yet to be established. However, the crossing does not align with the road to Exeter.
