Having failed to pick up a straight line I worked northward, always with sandy subsoil, until the gravel was found againat 59, Trafalgar Road. Here there have also been excavations for gravel and sand, but between several gardens I got sufficient evidence to givea true alignment and the width of the road, as well as a sectionfrom near the centre, 18 feet across one side ; unfortunatelya former rubbish pit prevented a complete cut out to the roadedge and the ditch in this place. In another garden, whereonly small shallow pits were possible, the road surface wasfound right across and the camber could be measured bysounding with a bar and also the sharp drop at the road edges, into soft ground. The whole width here was 60 feet, with 20 feet nearly levelin the centre, the two sloping sides having a fall of 1 inch in2 feet. There was again no sign of any paving. (See Fig. 2.)

A section showed 14 inches ofbroken flints, mixed with round pebbles and rough flint drift, in a matrix of sandy clay, which carried also some surface soiland a few pieces of bright red earthenware. All this was veryfirm ; it rested on 2-4 inches of yellow sand which was slightlybleached at the base while the sand rested on a layer of largerough flints. Underneath lay an older roadway formed of9 inches of compact drift, carrying some broken flints restingon 3 inches of loose brown sand free from pebbles. At th
