RRRA Newsletter No.4, Spring 2017 1 R·R·R·A NEWSLETTER NO.5, SUMMER 2017 The RRRA and the Roman road at Holtye Mike Haken In 1929, whilst undertaking an aerial survey of the Ashdown Forest, Ivan D. Margary made a chance discovery of part of what is now known as the London to Barcombe Way, a previously unknown Roman road (Margary, 1932), to which some years later he allocated the number RR14 (Margary, 1973, pp. 59-62). The road runs roughly north south, branching off Watling Street near New Cross, Peckham. Its purpose has been suggested as a route for moving the products of the Roman Wealden iron industry (Margary, 1932) and it is Fig. 2. Looking along the “exposed” Roman road in late 2016 believed to be late 1st century or 2nd century AD in date (Historic England, 2016). regarded, to those charged with its care, as just the 40m long fenced section, leaving the remaining During the early 1930s, Margary excavated a short, 210m to become ignored and disregarded. exceptionally well preserved length of the London to Barcombe road near Holtye Common (Margary, Late in 2016, RRRA member and Projects Manager, 1932) which he purchased in 1938.

To those in the know, the experience of walking on the Yorkshire Wolds has long been recognised as a hidden gem. An even greater secret, however, is the vast amount of ‘hidden’ archaeology lying beneath the beautiful landscape of our dry valleys and rolling hills. For example, take the triangle of land encom- Margary 811 passed by Fridaythorpe, Fimber and Wetwang, Margary 813 and three Roman roads. The Wetwang and Gar- ton Slack Chariot Burials are well known in ar- chaeological hierarchy and although the best Margary 810/ 811 known, they are far from the only important Margary 810 archaeological sites in the area. The excellent work carried out by Catherine Stoertz in her “Ancient Landscapes of the Yorkshire Wolds: Aerial Photographic Transcription and Analysis” illustrates many of the area’s other archaeological treasures, such as the deserted medieval village of Holm (just south of Fridaythorpe) and the many distinctive late Iron Age/Romano-British settlements based on linear trackways, known as ladder settlements from their characteristic form frequently seen as cropmarks, which are a major archaeological feature of our area.

At the parking area, a finger sign points to a path climbing above Standedge Cutting. Joining a track heading east- south-east, this follows the course of an old turnpike, constructed in 1815 and subsequently replaced by the alignment now used by the A62. Off to the left, beneath the shapely form of Pule Hill, is Redbrook Reservoir, built to supply the Huddersfield Narrow Canal. Looking ahead, the Holme Moss transmitter identifies the location of Black Hill.
