| Dere Street | A [Roman] road that ran from Yorkshire to Scotland. This crossed the Tees at Piercebridge, County Durham, heading north to Lanchester area and cut across to Corbridge, then northwards again through [Hadrian's Wall] to the northwest, passing the [marching camps] at Fourlaws, Featherwood, Chew Green and near the forts at West Woodburn and High Rochester. It was used as a later boundary and [drove road]. In part it is still overlain by many roads such as the main A1(M) and A68 roads of today. It is thought to have been constructed/used by the 80s AD. This had its own [fortlet] at Chew Green for repair and pulling wagons. |
