Full description

In the early 20th century paving, believed to be that of a Roman road running at an angle to Fore Street, was observed at the junction of Tiverton Lane and Fore Street in Cullompton by Mr M T Foster. This observation is linked with the placename 'Stoneyford' at ST029074 and other sites for a suggested projection of the Fosse Way.

This road would be very plausible now that the Roman Fort on St Andrew's Hill is known.
