AN ACCOUNT OF A ROMAN PUBLIC WAY. 9553 
the Ordnance survey, in the garden, at the Swan 
Inn, close to the public Highway, about twenty 
inches below the surface. When Mr. Still was pass- 
ing along the line of the Road, it happened, that 
they were trenching the garden ; and, the Road 
was found here quite perfect, buried in the ground. 
From Dangerous Corner to the Swan Inn, the 
Roman Road runs on the north side of the present 
Highway ; but, at the Swan Inn, it again crosses 
the Highway; and its course is very plainly 
marked, by the gravel and stones, for a consider- 
able distance, in the waste ground, on the south 
side of the Highway. 
The Roman Road entirely leaves the present 
Highway, at Ivy House, near Rotten Row.* 
The gravel of the Road is found by the spade 
in the corner of Sudworth’s Meadow. 
The remains of the Roman Road are very 
visible at the edge of the brook, in front of the 
Cheese House. 
* Rotten Row probably takes its name from the loose 
gravelly ridge of the Roman Road, which has run through 
this district.
