NoneFull Description
Rykneild Street, suggested Iron Age or Romano British track way, running in a North-South alignment from Chesterfield towards the Templeborough fort. See PIN 4918 for an alternative suggested route for a Roman road south from Templeborough. A road south of Templeborough was excavated by Dorothy Greene, who believed that it was an early trackway that was later used as a Roman road.
<1> According to I. Margary’s Roman Road’s in Britain in 1973 this route corresponds to Margary number 18e.
<2> Field observations between 1916 to the 1950s identified a road running SE from Templeborough fort (PIN 05051) that may be the north end of Rykneild Street.
