Section of Rykneld Street is a length of Roman road preserved in situ north of Redleadmill Brook in Derbyshire. The surviving section extends approximately 80 yards or 70 metres and represents part of the major Roman road that connected the fort at Rykneld Street (near Chesterfield) with other military installations across the Midlands. Dating to the Roman period, this stretch of road demonstrates the characteristic construction methods employed by Roman engineers, showing the durable metalling and engineering standards that allowed such routes to remain functional for centuries. The monument's preservation provides archaeological evidence of Roman road infrastructure and remains significant for understanding the communications and military logistics of Roman Britain.
