Overview

History & significance

Croes Atti is a Roman road site located in Flintshire, Wales, forming part of the Roman transport network that connected settlements and military installations across North Wales. The site represents evidence of Roman infrastructure dating to the period of occupation and military consolidation in Wales, likely constructed during the first and second centuries AD to facilitate movement of troops and goods between Roman centres. The road's route reflects the strategic importance of the region during Rome's control of Wales, serving as a vital link in the broader provincial road system. The physical remains at Croes Atti preserve traces of this engineered route, contributing to the archaeological record of Roman Wales and demonstrating the scale of Roman administrative organisation in the province.
