"Drought unearths treasure trove of ancient monuments". Headline from Daily Post 8 August 2006. (http://snipurl.com/upl7). I would be interested to know more about the Roman road around Corwen. Can anyone help?

'Allo IAman, people* can get a bit iffy about the romans aound these parts sometimes, but you never know. As long as it casts the Nasty Romans in a bad light, and the Brave Indigenes in a good light, then why not?
Ahem. Interesting. I'd wondered about parch marks earlier this summer.

The finds are not exclusively Roman. If you look at the whole newspaper article then there are other references as well. And there is a link somewhere in this website to the BBC website which displays some of the aerial photos including items of neolithic interest. Unfortunately I am none the wiser about the newly discovered Roman road at Corwen and I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of further information or maybe a forum which discusses such Roman matters.

Indeed, some interesting thoughts about the bronze age. Hopefully info may come to light regarding BA settlements in Wales. I understand they're a bit thin on the ground, though that might only be in upland areas.

I think the channel 4 time team forum is well versed in suchlike, you could try asking there:

Good luck in your search.
