Bend where Gorse Lane breaks away from the line of the Roman road

For most of its length from its junction with the A607 near Croxgton Kerial (behind), Gorse Lane follows the line of a Roman road, the Salt Way. Margary provides evidence that the line of the Roman road continued straight ahead at the bend, running into the field beyond the hedge on the right, from where it continued on a straight course to Saltersford on the River Witham Link
