Description: | 60943
The Fossway probably starts in Axmouth and runs north-east. It passes through Leicester and to Newark. The final alignment of this immensely long straight road passes through Lincolnshire, entering North Kesteven at Norton Disney. The terminal of the alignment was at the approach to the crossing of the river Witham at Bracebridge, where the road bends east to the crossing and then northward to the city joining with Ermine Street on the way. {1}
Excavations adjacent to the A46 at Gallows Nooking Common, Norton Disney, (SK 858 606) revealed no evidence of the Fosse Way Roman road. This may be because all traces of the road at this point have been destroyed, or that it lies beneath the modern A46. {4} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 43 - 409 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
