Full description
Margary, I. D., 1967, Roman Roads in Britain, 116-117 (Monograph). SDV24025.
A Roman road is thought to have run westward near the coast from Charmouth via Timber Hill, Lyme Regis, Colyford, Newton Poppleford and Clyst St Mary to Exeter. The route after Lyme Regis is largely that followed by the A3052. There are constant indications of encroachments upon the verges for much of the way between Newton Poppleford and Clyst St Mary, which are unusually wide for the area. A good indication of age in a road.
