This is reputedly on the line of a Roman road between Dorchester and Silchester. By comparison with other Roman highways there's not much left of this one. Some field boundaries and a footpath over the Clumps just north of here, then this short bit of road and some more paths through Brightwell and onto the best bit, Mackney Lane, running for just over 1km south of the village before the line is lost.
