Description
The memorial stone for the site of a Roman road was erected in 1850. This stone monument stands about 7 feet tall and has a rectangular shape with a moulded base, cornice, and a flat stone on top, all set within a railed enclosure. The inscription on the side facing the road reads: "This stone marks the site of the Roman road proceeding from the under-mentioned stations in the south and south west of England and Wales of which a portion still remains in the adjoining eastern meadow, founded probably by the second legion of the Roman army between the year seventy six and two hundred and ten of the Christian era." Following this, there is a list of place names, along with the explanation: "The above stations were taken from the itineraries of Antoninus and Ricardus Corinensis and inserted on the stone by Edgell Wyatt Edgell Esq. A.D. 1850." The last part of the inscription, which was somewhat illegible at the time of the survey, referred to alleged errors about Roman roads in histories of the Roman occupation of Britain.
