Monument record MDO19090 - Culliford House, South Walks, Dorchester; trackway
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Around 1895, a very hard, smooth, cemented roadway, about 3 yards wide, believed to be Roman, was traced across the garden at Culliford House. It extended west-north-west for some 65 yards. If extended to the east-south-east it would cross the town walls at the hypothesised Gallows Hill gate. However, it does not conform with the Roman street pattern and may be as late as 18th century in date.
