Topic: Dere Street

	Dere Street, Co. Dourham
		It was often called Watling Street, for example by MacLauchlan in his "Survey of the Watling Street" in 1852 and on the early editions of the OS maps.
		Dere Street, however, continues north till just before the River Deerness where it turns north-west towards Lanchester, which it passes just to the west, and then on to the River Derwent at Ebchester, or Vindomora, just north of Consett.
		Dere Street kept south of the Roman fort of Ebchester, crossing the River Derwent near the weir, 50 yards south of the old bridge.

	Roman roads in Britain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chaucer's pilgrims in the Canterbury Tales almost certainly used Watling Street to travel from Southwark to Canterbury.
		However, the roads were mostly destroyed in the 18th and 19th century when toll roads were constructed on top of the Roman originals.
		Much of Watling Street, for example, is now under the A2 and A5.

	Oculus: From trackway to road
		Dere Street approaches Corbridge from the south-east, passing along the Tyne valley through Riding Mill[17] on a west-north-westerly heading, before changing course to the north-west just to the north of Prospect Hill crossing Dilston Haughs and aligned on Bishop Rigg, half way between the main site and Red House (Map 3).
		Hence my suggestion of a proto-Dere Street: [19] a route that was, perhaps, followed for most of its course when the new road was constructed in the latter part of the 80s.
		Naturally, where its course was followed exactly by the Dere Street, it would now be next to impossible to detect; but where their chosen courses differ, the older route may still be evident.

	Morebattle to Jedfoot Bridge
		Dere Street exists today as a mixture of paths and farm tracks, often through a ribbon of woodland, rising and falling with the contours.
		Dere Street was one of the network of military roads built by the Romans during their four-hundred year occupation of Britain twenty centuries ago.
		Dere Street would probably have been surfaced during its time as a military road, but nowadays it has reverted to the status of a farm track.

	ROMAN DERE STREET OVER THE RIVER TWEED (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The term Roman Dere Street (abbreviated as RDS) is used to distinguish the earlier road.
		The aiming point of Roman Dere Street in its 18km length from the Cheviot Hills to the Bowden Burn, only 3km short of Trimontium fort, is again the Eildon Hills; the east slope of Hill North.
		Thereafter the Commission suggests Dere Street to proceed for 5.5km (3.4 miles) to "near Kedslie" by an unspecified route over the ridges between and across the glens of all of the Packman's, Meikle Linn, Craigsford, Heathery, Clackmae and Kedslie Burns.

	Roman Catterick, Yorkshire, publication programme (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The 1972 excavations revealed evidence relating to an Antonine defended enclosure straddling Dere Street on the north bank of the river.
		This has demonstrated shifts in occupation, with 2nd-century ribbon development southwards along Dere Street being abandoned in favour of 3rd4th-century expansion on the north side of the river.
		The urban characteristics of Catterick which include the provision of defences, the development a street grid, the absence of a permanent fort, and the presence of prosperous civilian buildings are in contrast with most settlements in the region.

	Jedfoot Bridge to St Boswells
		The Dere Street section is largely a simple path, usually accompanied by a ribbon of vegetation, running dead straight towards the Eildon hills (which grow steadily nearer as you progress), while the banks of the Tweed are typified by river meadows and clumps of woodland.
		While the route outwith Dere Street twists and turns somewhat, the walk as a whole is perfectly straightforward and shouldn't last much over half a day.
		The A68 now converges rapidly with the route of Dere Street from the left and runs almost alongside for the 500 meters short of Hiltonshill junction, though fortunately a strip of woodland isolates the road to some extent.

		Dere Street continues to skirt Gaisty Law and then Woden Law on its way to the headwaters of Kale Water.
		The ruins of an impressive Iron Age fort crown Woden Law and Dere Street allowed the Romans to take their time in reducing it.

	Advanced Motorcycling: Article1 page2
		I stand to be corrected on the following by the historians among us, but Dere Street is an old Roman road which extends south from a point around Melrose in the Scottish Borders, to a point around York in Englandshire.
		This old Roman road has been followed by subsequent roads engineers in the intervening period and is actually the A-1(T) in the area of Thirsk, the B-6275 in the area of Darlington and the A-68 in the area of Otterburn.
		We had been assured the sections of Dere Street we would be tackling were still shown as "adopted roads" on the maps of the local authority so no one could call our use of them into question.

		Around AD 105 this fort was destroyed by fire, but almost immediately the place was rebuilt and served as one of the major forts of the Trajanic Stanegate System.

		On one side of the hill runs Dere Street, the Roman road constructed in the late 1st century AD to link the legionary fortress of York (Eburacum) and Inchtuthil, near Perth.
		Long after the Romans had withdrawn, this remained the principal north-south route, used, for example, by the armies of Edward I in the Wars of Independence, but more generally by travellers and pilgrims, for whom the nearby Soutra Hospital provided shelter.
		It later became the burial vault of a local family and this saved it from the fate of the rest of the institution.
