ROAD ALIGNMENT USED BY BRIDGEMAN AT STOWE, SEE 1739 MAP (B3).
The National Trust's survey for Stowe undertaken in 1989 makes reference to the Roman road. The survey suggests that it may have formed the boundary between the manors of Stowe and Boycott and thus many have halted development of the garden until Boycott Manor was acquired in the early 1700s. It roughly forms the line of the ha-ha on the northern boundary of the gardens (B4).
An evaluation at 'Trewetha', Dadford Road, Stowe, found no trace of the road along its predicted alignment (B5).
