The Romans
settled here and
traces of their
original
nine-acre camp
can still be
found. Artefacts
from the site, including coins, are displayed
at Grantham Museum.
One famous legacy of the
Roman invasion is the road network. Many
modern straight roads follow the line of a
Roman original.
This is Ermine Street
(B6403) near Ancaster (Roman name:
Causennae), part of a road which ran
originally from Chichester via London and
Lincoln to York.
The route of a roman road
can vary from a trunk road to a muddy track or
disappear completely, as it does a little
further north where it lies somewhere under
the runways of RAF Waddington.
