Icknield Street, Roman road in Warwickshire, England
Icknield Street extends through Warwickshire as part of a major Roman transportation network connecting Gloucestershire to South Yorkshire.
The road dates back to 43 CE when Roman forces constructed it during their invasion of Britain to facilitate military movements.
Medieval communities renamed sections of the road, including the Haydon Way stretch between Studley and Alcester in Warwickshire.
The preserved Roman surface measures 8.5 meters in width, featuring a carefully engineered cobbled construction that supported heavy traffic.
Archaeological excavations along the Warwickshire section revealed thirteenth-century pottery fragments, indicating continuous use through multiple centuries.
