An alignment of field boundaries to the west of it could also be a possibility.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Delph-Lane-Alignment.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Delph-Lane-Alignment.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"596\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Delph-Lane-Alignment.jpg 596w, https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Delph-Lane-Alignment-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Delph-Lane-Alignment-347x300.jpg 347w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\" \/><\/a>Drone photos taken during the warm sunny spell in February, unfortunately didn&#8217;t reveal anything particular. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lower-House-from-Drone1b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1603\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lower-House-from-Drone1b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lower-House-from-Drone1b.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lower-House-from-Drone1b-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lower-House-from-Drone1b-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lower-House-from-Drone1b-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>Looking North\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lower-House-from-Drone3b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lower-House-from-Drone3b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lower-House-from-Drone3b.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lower-House-from-Drone3b-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lower-House-from-Drone3b-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wiganarchsoc.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lower-House-from-Drone3b-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>Looking South<\/p>\n<p>Maybe\u00a0we have to wait till the next period of drought when parch marks might possibly reveal more features, before this mystery is solved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date: 26th February 2019 The route of the Roman road in this area has always been a mystery as the A49 wanders away from the alignment some distance to the west.
