Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment of a section of Cam High Road, Upper Wensleydale, Yorkshire Dales National Park The study identified a total of 15 heritage assets within a 500m corridor centred on the road, all of which are undesignated heritage assets, and mostly comprise sites of post-medieval date, of local importance. The road comprises a mid-18th century turnpike, which was in use as a significant highway for approximately 50 years, before becoming redundant, as the road was realigned up a neighbouring valley. The post-medieval road follows the alignment of an earlier Roman road, leading to the fort of Virosidum at Bainbridge, which is also considered of regional importance. Associated ditches and earlier road alignments appear to survive, though the agger has not been definitively proved to exist in the limited archaeological work undertaken on the road, which also indicates many of the supposed Roman ditches have been recut in modern times. |
