Please read our guidance about the use of Cheshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A suspected Roman road agger (road embankment) was investigated by Lymm and District Historical Society in 1969. This proved inconclusive. There was a clean raised ridge which was apparently the site of a road in the medieval period. The hard gravel subsoil is indistinguishable from possible road surface.
