There are even more instances of historic=roman_road, are those never sunken lanes? I wouldn't exclude that at least some of those sunken lanes have been cut deliberately (in these cases contrary to the meaning of "sunken" which might imply a longer process?), e.g. around here there are many Etruscan rock-cut roads.
