Quick LiDAR note for people - you usually get DTM and DSM data. The DSM (Digital Surface Model) is derived from the first lidar reflections and returns the tops of trees and vegetation, the DTM (Digital Terrain Model) comes from the later reflections that come from the ground. For road detection, you need the DTM map!

Our Latin teacher Mr Putnam took us out in his LWB Landrover as we had double Latin between morning break and dinner time so the trip included these breaks. One of the most interesting lessons I ever had. He brought to life the Roman roads and fort at Caersws and showed us what to look for. Just as you are doing now. This was in 1967 and I have forgotten most of the Latin I was tought but never forgot that day. "Felix dies". Happy days.

Hi Paul, really liked your Find a Roman Road especially the church bit, back in 91 I lived in Darlington and we’d go on walks on Hadrian’s wall and surrounding Roman sites, I bought a book on Roads by a French guy and learnt that if you knew that a road was in an area but not indication of where to look you should look for traces of an old building or church because in medieval times folk would build on disused Roman roads as it was an excellent base and location . So I was pretty excited that you were placing the church with the road. I now live in South Carolina USA and the only places to explore are revolutionary sites and plantations. Keep up the amazing videos. Stephen.

Greetings from the son of the former 'Miss Todd' - one of the two teachers in the Village School at Cocking (just east of Diddling) during the early 1950s. I shall be showing her this. She was told at the time by an archaeologist working near that village all sorts of things that don't appear in the Sites and Monuments record, including that the original Roman Road went through Cocking and only later moved to Linch Farm. I have much scepticism on this, and a few other things, - basically the known lines don't match a side wander to what is an only moderately better point to drop down the Downs (if you are a Roman). Early trackway on that route, using the natural line through West Dean, yes, maybe? The much later 'Chichester, Dell Quay and Fernhurst Turnpike', definite yes. Roman Road - almost certain Nope. Thanks for the reminder to join the RRRA. Been intending to for a while but never got round to it.

Chapel Common is my local dog walking space .... if you go in winter, when the ferns are not growing, a long stretch of agger and ditches are unmissable. There are several other localities near Liphook and Bordon where you can see the still intact Roman road without any guess work required. My family rents a field that is directly traversed by the course of the Chichester to Silchester road, but unfortunately no sign of it there. Incidentally, just for the record, Milland is pronounced with the stress on the 2nd syllable, mill -AND, and Iping is pronounced with a long first I, "eye ping". Great video. If you come again, explore the ancient and interesting disused Tuxlith Chapel next to Milland Church, near the top of the steps you showed on the video. Well worth a visit!

I love Roman roads, they’re so under appreciated. People give a lot of credit to our canals and railways for our industrial past but I doubt much of that would of existed if it wasn’t for them, in many cases it’s difficult to say what came first, the town and cities or the Roman roads that connected them, now I’m thinking about it would we even have much of country if we didn’t have them 😅 🤷‍♂️. I have spent abit of time recently researching my Roman road, the one that I live on (margary 712) and what I found is actually remarkable lol sorry I get a little over enthusiastic perhaps when it comes to our Roman roads

Hi Paul and Rebecca.I very much enjoyed watching this on Sunday 6/8/2023.The following day on B.B.C. Radio Devon lunchtime news it was announced that Exeter University had released information on it's latest research into the Roman road network for Devon and Cornwall.62 additional miles of road had been identified and that the main focus of the network was not Exeter but the town of North Tawton further West.The Roman fort at North Tawton has been known about for many years and scholars assumed it's name to be Nemetostatio.This name appears in a document called the Ravenna Cosmography although historian Michael Wood questions this as another fort was discovered at Bury Barton near Lapford which he believes to be Nemetostatio and North Tawton fort to be Tavo.Nymet in the Celtic language meant " Sacred Grove ".Kind Regards and keep up the good work !

Iping. That set a bell ringing in my brain - it's the name of the place where H.G. Wells set 'The Invisible Man', although I think he transferred it to being in Kent. I've read most of the books you suggest, but my favourite, and one I used to 'tick places off my wishlist' (not physically, as it was a bloody expensive book), has to be 'The Modern Antiquarian' by former pop star, Julian Cope.

Quite strange. I was at a clients house (I'm a gardener), and in 2020 she showed me a mug which had a transfer print from the O.S, of the West of England of just Roman roads, I was looking at it again just over a day ago. the amount of missing bits of roads is mind boggling. Some have a few miles then just stop, She is a bit of a history buff since she found out the land around her house was a camp in the first English civil war, she still finds musket balls and pistol shot today, and gives them to my son. I've digressed, but one of the farms she worked on had one of these Roman roads and the farmer refused to Allow any surveys on the land, so maybe lidar could be the answer.......👍 Great stuff as always guys 🙂

Fantastic! I used to go down the road south of Milland every working day to and from work, when I lived in Fernhurst. I remember it as being a Roman road, so it's fascinating to see where the road led to just past the village. I did get in contact with the Roman Road Research body and asked them about the A75 road going through Dunragit in Scotland, where my house is. It's mentioned in several books as being a Roman road, but despite that the RRR completely refuted the fact that there is any evidence of it being Roman at all! Very strange. There's a recently discovered marching camp at Glenluce, I can demonstrate that "Leucopibia" on Ptolemy's map is probably Old Luce (in other words Glenluce), there are multiple Roman forts at Castle Douglas, but still I can't find the missing section of Roman road that would prove there was a link from Dumfries, not to Stranraer (as it's a recent town), but to Portpatrick, and a potential crossing place to Ireland. Lidar would be EXTREMELY useful in this, but alas it's not available for Scotland. Very frustrating. There's a challenge for you! Liked and subscribed.

What a great find that coin was, you were lucky to bump into to him and his son. The lidar looks a very useful tool, perhaps one that you could explain in more depth in your podcast. I guess most of the A27 between Chichester and Portchester must have been built on the Roman Road. The castle is well worth a visit and there is a little known abandoned railway on the hill ......

I went to international boarding school in Lausanne Switzerland, If you want to see Roman Roads it went along the water front, Lec Leman, (Lake Geneva). I lived there, but you can stay at the Beau Rivage Hotel on the lake and walk along the sidewalk the Romans used. There are stone structures along the sidewalk made by the Romans. There are lots of stone Roman Roads you can walk on in Switzerland in many places.

The Romans liked to keep as much as possible to the high ground because in winter the low ground would likely be very wet and make progress difficult. That would be the first thing to look for in identifying the course of a Roman road.

No known Roman roads are in far west Texas, but we do have the Chihuahua Trail, which is roughly 400 years old, and runs from Chihuahua City, Mexico to San Antonio, Texas. Thanks to the semi arrid desert terrain, old roads and trails are easy to see to see from a small plane or drone, and metal detection was the primary method used by the University of Texas to chart the more eroded or farmed sections. Happy trail-finding, maybe we'll cross paths someday!😊

Big flat open fields were occasionally reserve airfeilds, satellite landing grounds and maintenance bases for the RAF in WW2. There is a list of them you need to search for local train stations or villages as they were named after the local telegraph office. All they often were was a big flat bit of land with hedges removed, some tents and nissen huts so vanished overnight when closed.

Yew trees were planted on consecrated ground in medieval times to protect the trees. Longbows were made from tree, and during wars and battles, yew trees were destroyed to prevent the making of more bows. So they were planted in consecrated ground so they were protected from the religious attackers.

As always, this is a very interesting and informative video. The only exposed piece of 'Roman' road I've seen, many years ago, was near Cinderford in the Forest of Dean. Marked as such on OS, but now I gather, there are doubts about it's origins. It looked pretty convincing to my untutored eye, at the time of my visit. So, I guess, after identifying a likely route, how do you assess whether it's Roman or not? Excavate?
@pwhitewick
@pwhitewick 10 месяцев назад
Pretty much yup. Wide context is always useful and searching out the records as to why OS have labelled it a RR. That would help identify if any research has already been done. Failing that.... excavation.

Hi guys found your channel by accident as over the years I’ve found myself accidentally living next to railways, Even now at 59 I have a narrow gauge station (live) at the bottom of my front garden,The first one was opposite Wood Green Train Yard in London 50yrs ago lol, Anyway watched a few of your videos and saw one from 3 months ago where you talked about doing your own channel as your weekly ones were taken there toll, ( I’m sure it is) Did this ever happen ????Andy, Ps love all the old train stuff even did this myself aged 16 lol. Keep up the great work

Reminder: If you're in the capital of Italy and you wait on a pier for someone to bring a boat in and they have oars, that's a Roman _Rowed_ . This is not what you are looking for.

Helpful hint! If you follow those watermen to the neighborhood where they all live you have located the rowmen’s road, but this is also not what you’re looking for. Best to return to Britain and resume the search there.

We have 'Roman Road' in Hereford. It looks like it went to Worcester, or down to Gloucester. The obvious bit is just that, but each end of it isn't ! Great video guys!

It went to Magna, crosses the Wye at where the Weir Gardens now are, and then went South. Magna was a Roman Town north of Hereford, the area now known as Kenchester. Aerial photos are in Hereford museum.
