The line of the Via Devana, a military road from Chester to Colchester, cuts invisibly across this field. The nearest fort to the south was Pennocrucium near Penkridge, whilst the map suggests there is/was another to the northwest near 'Camp Farm' at Ellerton. That would probably be a reasonable day's march for a troop of armed soldiers of about 13 or 14 miles.
