A BP gas station is at the intersection of those two roads.
The remains, which appear to be that of a woman, were found at the edge of a gravel lot adjacent to the BP Station, according to police.
The body has been transported to the Office of the Medical Examiner in Roanoke for examination, autopsy and positive identification.
