Abstract
It is suggested that a Roman centuriated cadastre(1) covered an area of South Norfolk extending at least 25 Km south of Norwich, and at least 15 Km from West to East. It is possible to obtain a good visual fit of a 20 "actus" grid with two existing linear features and two areas of existing rectilinear road systems. This fit is improved when the coordinates of the grid intersection points are calculated. The coincidence of existing junctions on the present A 140 with predicted "limites" intersections was tested statistically, with a significant result. Other features, typical of centuriated areas, are visible in the landscape. Despite its fragmentary nature, the evidence seems to indicate that a cadastre was implemented in this area. The relationship between the grid and the main Roman road implies that they were both designed and constructed in the same period, early in the process of Roman intervention in the territory of the Iceni.
