Overview

History & significance

I do not have confirmed scholarly documentation of a specific Roman road associated with Hazelwood Castle in Yorkshire with the list entry reference 1003685. Hazelwood Castle itself is a medieval fortified residence dating to the fourteenth century, situated near Tadcaster in North Yorkshire. Rather than speculate about Roman road features without established archaeological evidence, I would recommend consulting the official Historic England record for that list entry number, which would contain authoritative information about any Roman features recorded at or near this location.
