Section of Roman road 270yds (250m) in length SE of Holtye Common is a well-preserved stretch of Roman metalling located in the High Weald region of East Sussex. The road represents part of the substantial road network established during the Roman occupation of Britain, constructed to facilitate military movement and commercial traffic across the densely wooded terrain of the Weald. The surviving section retains evidence of Roman road construction techniques, including the characteristic layered structure of stone and gravel that would have formed the agger or raised roadbed. This monument is a significant example of Romano-British engineering and infrastructure, demonstrating the Romans' capacity to establish durable transport routes through challenging topography during their presence in southern Britain from the first century onwards.
