Monument record 1700/1/5 - Roman Road - Whitchurch to Tilston (Chester to Wroxeter Route 6a)

The possible course of the Roman road from Whitchurch to Tilstone (Margary 6a) traced by field survey. A section across the road exposed a ditch bounded by a band of clay at least 4m wide, containing many small stones. Watling Street is the name given to the roman road that links Chester with Wroxeter, and Caerleon. It is not to be confused with the Watling Street that runs from the SE coast through London then onto Verulamium ( St Albans) and (Viroconium) Wroxeter. The route of the road can be followed from Chester to its crossing point of the Dee at Aldford and then onto Malpas where it disappears from the landscape.
