Fosse Way, Syston
A short stretch of the Fosse Way Roman road, which linked Exeter to Lincoln, using one of the straightest routes that the Romans were famed for. The name of the road comes from the latin word 'fossa', a ditch, which may mark the origins of the route as a one-time defensive or boundary structure.
