More information : RR 191 Roman Road - Pennocrucium - Pendeford Hall. A recent study of air photographs has drawn attention to two roads - RR 190 (LINEAR 267) heading south-east and RR 190 heading south from the Roman settlement of Pennocrucium (SJ 91 SW 22). Both appear to have issued from the south gate, but are not visible on the ground for the first quarter of a mile. The southward RR 191 road is not visible until it has crossed the River Penk south of Somerford Hall (SJ 902 081). Then hedges and traces of metalling mark it through the fields of Brewood Park Farm, recrossing the Penk and being very clearly visible beyond it along the course of a grubbed-up hedgerow marked by a line of trees. It crosses the road south from Coven, and it follows it for a few yards, just at the point where the electricity pylon line also crosses. Then a short length of road past Pendeford Hall, and a lane, mark it to the outskirts of Wolverhampton.(1) See Linear Archive File for further details. (2) |
