Roman Road - Put the sentences in the Right Place

 

 

Here are some labels which need to be stuck in the correct place on the diagram above.

Can you put the labels in the correct places?

1) At the bottom of the trench, the Romans put a layer of big stones.
2) Broken stones, pebbles, cement and sand to make a firm base.
3) Cement mixed with broken tiles.
4) Paving stones formed the surface of the road. These were cut so they fitted together tightly.
5) Kerb stones at the sides held in the paving stones and made a channel for the water to run away.
