A37 Dorchester Bypass and Roman Aqueduct
Image: © Ian Andrews Taken: 21 Jun 2013
This picture was taken from the Poundbury Road bridge over the A37. You are looking South West up (excuse me) Fordington Bottom. You can see the course of the Roman aqueduct as it goes along the hedge-line half way up the grassy bank on the right of the road. it would have crossed the valley floor at a point a little beyond the bend in the road and run back down Fordington Bottom on the left of the road about half way up the bank on the right, maintaining a height above sea level of around 265ft all the way around.
