How did the Romans plan their great road to the north, Dere Street?
In setting out to answer this question, and to produce a method for
diagnosing the direction of Roman surveying and planning from the
landscape and structural remains, John Poulter's research
eventually widened to ask the same question of Hadrian's Wall, its
vallum and the Antonine Wall too. His analysis determines the
probable directions in which the three structures were surveyed,
and in so doing provides fascinating insight into their possible
function - Hadrian's Wall, for example seem to have been set out
with a view to maintaining a good view to the south, making
signalling to the rear more of a priority in planning than
observing to the north.
