Dere Street, Roman road in Scottish Borders and North Yorkshire, United Kingdom
The ancient Roman road stretches 226 miles from York through Corbridge and continues northward to the Antonine Wall in Scotland.
The road was constructed between AD 79 and 81 during the Roman occupation, serving as a crucial military supply route to northern fortifications.
The name Dere Street derives from the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Deira, reflecting the historical transitions of power in the region.
Modern roads, including the A1, B6275, and A68, follow sections of the original Roman path across multiple counties in Britain.
Archaeological excavations along Dere Street reveal evidence of Roman engineering techniques that incorporated local timber in road construction.
