Overview

History & significance

Croes Atti is a Roman road site located in Flintshire, Wales, forming part of the wider Roman communications network that connected military and civilian settlements across the province. The site represents a section of the Roman road system dating to the Roman occupation period, likely constructed and maintained during the first and second centuries AD to facilitate troop movement and trade. As a transport route, Croes Atti would have served strategic military purposes, connecting Roman installations such as forts and auxiliary stations within the region. The road's physical remains, typical of Roman road construction, would have comprised a metalled surface with drainage provisions, though visibility and preservation vary depending on modern land use and archaeological conditions.
