Log Text: A short walk from Stevenage Station, near the library and the museum.
The new town could have made, and could make, something much more impressive of this I would have thought. It might be worth considering how it works as townscape art.
It is rather amazing they have survived at all.
There is a leaflet available in Stevenage Museum, with a reference to Antiquity, 1936. That deals with Roman, and I doubt that there is anything Roman about a line of six, so Roman here might mean time rather than people.
