Dere Street is a Roman road running between Blackhall Hill and Black Halls in Roxburghshire, Scotland. Constructed during the Roman occupation of Britain, likely in the 1st or 2nd century AD, this section formed part of the major north-south arterial route that connected the Roman forts and settlements across the Borderlands region. The road retains visible earthwork remains in places, demonstrating the characteristic Roman road construction with its raised agger or foundation layer. This stretch of Dere Street represents an important example of Roman military infrastructure in Scotland and remains archaeologically significant as evidence of Rome's strategic control and communication networks in the northern frontier zone.
