Full Description

Reputed Ro road locally (part of Harby Lane). (1)
A former beast road; there is no surface evidence of a Ro origin. A wall history in Langar church penned by local children suggests this as being a "Ro road going to the Fosse" - but there is no substantiating evidence. Houldsworth has now no archaeological interests. (2)
