Full Description
Two sections cut across Roman road at Iron Latch Lane, Stanway.
In 1958, Hull records, 'While this was being written the line of this road was cut under the modern road to Halstead. Here it had been slightly sunk below the general level, and the terrain had been wet, for the road consisted of a very thin layer of gravel laid upon faggots or fascines. Upon it lay some 9 in. of dark mud.'<1>
