The A66 has been a routeway of significance for at least 2000
years, linking the east and west of the country by the Stainmore
Pass. Archaeological excavation ahead of the upgrading of the A66
to dual carriageway, between Greta Bridge and Scotch Corner,
provided an important opportunity to investigate the development of
the landscape. The archaeological remains discovered range in date
from early prehistory to the nineteenth century, and particularly
from the Iron Age and early Roman period (c 800 BC - AD 100). One
of the most significant results was the important new dating
evidence for a section of the Scots Dyke, a substantial linear
earthwork between the Rivers Tees and Swale. It has been dated to
the early-middle Iron Age, which places it within the wider Iron
Age and Roman landscape revealed by the road improvement scheme.
This may indicate that it was related in some way to the Iron Age
tribal centre at nearby Stanwick. The volume arises from a
multi-disciplinary approach to the archaeology, with the emphasis
placed on interpreting the sites within their wider landscape
context. It involved a multiplicity of authors, ranging from staff
at Oxford Archaeology North, to external specialists, including
staff at Lancaster University and University College, London.
