11 It is to be supposed that this road shows dark in contrast to the road running at right angles to it because the metalling has been all robbed away. The dark area across the top of the photograph between the lake and the remains of roads and buildings represents upcast thrown up when the lake was made ten years ago, burying all Roman remains in the area.
