2008 : Looking north on the Fosse Way, A367
[The Fosse Way] runs from Exeter in the south west to Lincoln in the north-east, and was built in the middle of the 1st century AD. The word Fosse comes from the Latin word for ditch (Fossa) and is appropriate for this road as for a long time, the western boundary of Roman controlled Britain was protected by a defensive ditch running between Exeter and Lincoln. Whether the ditch was filled in and the road built later, or whether the road was built to follow the ditch is a subject of much conjecture. What is certain is that the road got its name from the ditch.

2008 : Looking east from Wells Road, B3139
A cropped field waiting for the plough. Probably a wheat field. Fields are rarely left fallow now, a crop such as oil seed rape or sometimes broad beans is sown which will improve the condition of the soil and still be productive.

Possible Old Milestone by the B3139, Wells Road, Stratton on the Fosse
The stone is located by Norton Down Cottages, on the verge against the garden wall, on the south side of road. Parish of Stratton on the Fosse (Mendip District).
Initially the stone was considered to be a first generation milestone erected by the Wells turnpike trust in the 18th century. However, there is no evidence to support this. Any information about the stone would be appreciated.
