Background
Description
The existence of a prehistoric settlement of the area is evidenced by Pipton Long Cairn, a Neolithic burial chamber to the south-west of Pipton Farm. A fragment of a Roman road was discovered during excavations for the South Wales Gas Pipeline south of the disused railway line, about 450 m west of Pipton Farm. The road was not on the orientation of the Y Gaer to Kenchester Roman road which is assumed to have passed near Pipton roughly on the line of the A438. It might have been a spur to this road crossing the Wye and making for Castell Collen.
