when browsing google earth i came across high cross juction at watlins st and foss way. there is a farm there at smockinton lane A5-B4114. the crop marks are incredibley obvious and this being such an important crossing in roman times i am intreuged.nearby are copston magna, venonis & wigston parva fort. i am disabled and caonnot get there, if anyone lives close by and should be pleased to investigate i should be most appreciative, of any details you can send me. i am further intreuged that there is a place called Bardon Hall of course we have all heard of the battle of Badon/Bardon?, is there a possible hillfort nerby which could have been the site of the battle of badon/bardon. king authers legendary famous battle. a march down watlins st from wroxetor should have met the saxons marching south down the foss way on their way to cheltenham. ????? let me know what u think after all most all great finds come from the amatures, maybe this is our chance to teach the experts someting. i do not know the name of the farm nor its owners.

Just saw your post - I live nearby and often drive past what you saw on Google Earth. The terrain to right of junction with A5 is very suggestive of a DMS, with ridges/mounds/ditches/hollows etc,especially when seen in low sunlight, but as an amateur archaeologist I have never found reference to those. However, I can direct you to try Googling the following: ULAS (University of Leicester Archaeological services website), Venonae (Rugby websites etc), and Tripontium (Wikipedia, detailing further down the Fosse Way). High Cross is the actual intersection of the Fosse Way with the Watling Street (A5) and as such is just really an island containing a fine Georgian house plus a reconstructed "Roman" style (possibly made of robbed materials) pillar, visible from the road. The portion of the Fosse way north of there is not metalled, just exists as a raised mound/footpath, for a couple of miles - the actual metalled road goes virtually alongside it. I have visited that bit of the unmetalled Fosse when very wet after tractors have gone along it and their deep track ruts revealed a smooth roman cobbled surface - at which I was overjoyed and stood on it in my wellies! If you are interested, visit Hinckley Fieldwalking Group, of which I am a member, and see what they've found at Fosse Meadows nearby!
