Archaeologists have exposed a well-preserved cambered Roman road surface in Manchester’s Castlefield area (Liverpool Road/Liverpool Street reporting), astonishingly only c. 15 inches (≈38–40 cm) below modern tarmac, with an assemblage of Romano-British pottery and other small finds broadly dating its active use to the 1st–3rd centuries AD.

A stretch of Roman road just 38-40 cm (15 in) below Liverpool Road in Castlefield. The trench shows the classic Roman construction sequence – a cambered rubble core surfaced with tightly packed cobbles – and runs on a north-east/south-west alignment that leaves Mamucium’s north gate and heads towards modern Salford.
