NoneFull Description
<1> Section of road observed in 1990s and traced using aerial photographs. Described as being visible 'in a field to the east of Oxdale Lodge [PIN03834/01]', and running NE-SW. No dating, but part of the surviving section described as metalled and with flanking ditches. If indeed Roman, could form an alternative southerly route of the Templeborough-Navio route PIN04914, avoiding Stanage Edge. See PIN05392 and PIN04517/01 for northerly alternatives (or other roads).
