Work on the A66 in North Yorkshire has unearthed some important Iron Age and Roman sites and artefacts.
Roman and Iron Age ruins have been discovered during work for one of the Highways Agency's major road schemes.
A decision to dual the A66 from Carkin Moor to Scotch Corner and Greta Bridge to Stephen Bank in North Yorkshire has unearthed five or six round houses, paddocks and fields where two Roman roads used to meet, now the junction of the present day A66 and the A1.
Finds are being handed to a local museum and features uncovered during excavations include a circular house, square structures, pits and field ditches, possible associated with a larger settlement near Rock Castle Farm on the other side of the A66.
