CHIPPING CAMPDEN
(23 miles N.N.E. of Cirencester)
(1) Roman Road, Ryknild Street (extending N.N.W. from SP 13083376), forms the W. boundary of the parish and also the county boundary with Warwickshire. The alignment continues southwards in Snowshill (1). In Hare Park Plantation the agger is generally 1½ ft. high and 30 ft. wide; at SP 13093376, where a track crosses it, it is about 2½ ft. high and there are indications of side ditches about 100 ft. apart.
Sections cut across the agger by G. B. Grundy at about SP 125356 and SP 127349 revealed small broken stones overlying a layer of stone slabs 6 in. thick; this layer was separated from bedrock by compacted earth.
