Summary
This section of Roman road has been referred to in the past as Elworth Street, but is in fact part of King Street (Margary Route 70a). It is clearly depicted as a raised embankment (agger) on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition maps (1). The course of the road to the south east is not certain, but it is probable that the road was designed to reach the Roman settlement at Chesterton, near Newcastle under Lyme.
