XXII. Description of a Roman Villa discovered at Acton Scott, near Church Stretton, in Shropshire, in 1817; with an account of further researches made in July, 1844: communicated in a Letter from Mrs. Frances Stackhouse Acton to the Very Reverend the Dean of Hereford

Abstract

Acton Scott is situated about three quarters of a mile to the east of the Watling Street road, which leads from Wroxeter, through the Strettons to Leintwardine and Brandon Camp, and from thence to Kentchester. In the “Salopia Antiqua” another line of Roman road is described by Mr. Hartshorne, as going from Nordy Bank, at the foot of the Brown Clee hill, to Wroxeter, which at Wall would pass within four miles of Acton Scott, on the other side.
