I hope this is never actually managed as a separate shapefile !?  If the
data is properly integrated in the HER, it should be simple to generate
this "layer" by querying for monument records with period = roman and
type = road (then exporting to shapefile where necessary). You can
actually achieve this with some success now on the Heritage Gateway,
albeit a partial picture.

Now wishing it was late on a Friday...

Hello all - 

 

Can people let me know if they have an up to date GIS shapefile of their
Roman road system, one they have some confidence in? We have one here in
Herts which (after a lot of scrutiny of Viatores routes etc, and all the
archaeological data) reflects the routes we know (with a few
qualifications) to be Roman. But it is very different from the NMR data
supplied to the Roman Rural Settlement Project, and other projects, so
it would be good to know how patchy/comprehensive up to date coverage
is.
