Overview

History & significance

The Roman road east of St Catherine's Hill is a Roman road of probable second-century date located in Hampshire. The route forms part of the network of Roman communications that served the settlement at Winchester, known in the Roman period as Venta Belgarum, and facilitated trade and military movement across the region. The road's alignment and construction characteristics are consistent with Roman engineering practices, though like many Roman roads in southern England, its precise original extent and destination have been subject to archaeological interpretation. Its survival as an earthwork has made it significant for understanding both Roman infrastructure and the subsequent land use patterns of medieval and post-medieval Hampshire.
