| Summary : A supposed Roman road running from Malton to Filey represented by a few surviving surfaces exposed in pipe laying at Filey and as a cambered ridge on Flotmanby Lane. |
More information : RR 816 Roman Road. Malton - Sherburn - Filey (22 miles).
It is generally considered that the road from Malton to Filey, through Rillington and Sherburn, represents a Roman route following the northern foothills of the Wolds, for many Roman sites lie near it. Except for the commencement of the road in Norton, no traces of its construction have been noted. In Filey there were also remains of old road surfaces exposed during pipe-laying (TA 18 SW 3,4,5 and 8) and these might be related to it. (1)
Apart from the remains found in Filey there is a cambered ridge on Flotmanby Lane (TA 07 NE 3) which might be the course of the Roman road? The precise direction and coastal destination of the supposed Roman road from Malton after this point in Flotmanby Lane is uncertain. Filey is centred TA 115 810. Filey Brigg and Roman Signal Station (TA 18 SW 2) are centred at TA 126 818. (2)
