Monument record 8347 - Roman north-south road between Barrack Blocks at the Deanery Field

Archaeological investigations in Deanery Field in 1922 recorded traces of a north-south road between two barracks blocks in the north-east corner of the fortress. The evidence comprised traces of a paved footway in section I and III of the excavation. The footway encountered in section I to the west of the site comprised several pieces of reused column and bits of tumbled sandstone while that recorded in section III on the eastern side of site comprised a single line of ashlar faced stones (1)
