More information : The following features were seen as cropmarks on the NW side of the
present village of Ruskington and mapped from good quality air
photographs:-
A length of road of probable Roman date, defined by the cropmarks
of two side ditches and an agger between runs SE-NW for 1100m from
TF 0746 5162 to TF 0712 5251. There is a suggestion that the agger
continues further north for at least 150m to TF 0707 5265 but it is
much less clearly seen and no side ditches are visible. Two E-W
side roads, 220m and 170m in length and defined by ditches, meet
the main road on the west at TF 0721 5225 and TF 0715 5240. A
possible third side road is also recorded at the point where the
main road becomes less clear, at TF 0708 5258. The main SE-NW
section of this road is a probable continuation of that recorded on
the south of Ruskington as TF 04 NE 38.
