Line of Roman road traced from TL 62142184 to TL 63482202, where it links with existing road built on top of Roman road. <1> Line of Roman road existing in line of present road, centred TL 663224. <2> Course of Roman road centred on TL 612217. <3> No signs of road alongside modern highway. M R Hull tentatively marked the course of the road from TL 62142184 to TL 63482202. No traces of road continuing on a straight course on this projected line through the centre of Great Dunmow. Projected line cut by drain-laying operations at TL 63532201 but no trace of a metalled road surface found, according to field owner. Where projected line crosses Chelmer (TL 63292199) no sign of fording place as banks are steep and unbroken. Seems, for some reason, Roman road followed present course of road into Dunmow from TL 63482202 across the old Dunmow Ford, now bridged, to TL 62972168. This would bring the road close to where Roman pottery was found in 1935. <4> VCH regards Stane Street as a British track straightened and metalled by Roman engineers. The less-definite part "negotiates the valley with great skill", antiquity is confirmed by coincidence of the parish boundary. Thereafter the course was almost straight to Great Dunmow with parish boundaries along it nearly all the way. At Dunmow, as usual approaching a settlement, the road is lost for about a mile, though it points direct to the presumed site of the Roman settlement". <5> On OS map of Roman Britain. <6>
