Annotations

Causeway and culvert.

The first visible remains of the roman road that leaves Ammaia from the north west gate and passes via the valley of Escusa.

The typical Roman solution to crossing marshy land.

May have been restored and/or rebuilt at a later date, but is in situ on the line of the road.

Length 75m, width 3m, height max 1.30m
