Five layers of cobbles identified in section, as well as areas of probable patching. Two kerb-lines of stone blocks were laid end-on to the cobbled surfaces. These probably reflect the changing course of the road over time - it appears to have moved to the s - as the kerb lines lay below all but one of the recognised cobbled surface. A distinct camber to the cobbled surfaces was noticeable. The road had been resurfaced several times with tarmac. The tarmac surfaces relate to the 20c; the first tarmac on the a30 was laid in 1919 (see saunders) (wessex archaeology).
