In 1923 Laver records that a Roman Road was cut in Crowhurst Road, during the laying of a water pipe, at a depth of 3ft 6". It crossed the street at an angle, the north edge being 69ft north of the NE corner of Papillon Road. Lavers sketch shows the road surface about 12" thick, extending over a width of 23ft from just opposite the north of the door of no41 to just north of the door of no43. It is lying on a bank of gravel, both sides sloping away steeply (as if to a ditch), and here, on each side, black soil is indicated.<1><2>
