Hob Uid: 1005251
Location : Northumberland Rochester, Birtley, Otterburn, Corsenside, Whittington, Wall, Sandhoe, Chollerton, Corbridge
Grid Ref : NY9820064800
Summary : The line of the Corbridge to High Rochester Roman road.
More information : Dere Street. RR 8e Corbridge - High Rochester. Dere Street leads out of Corbridge as a low agger and the road up Stagshaw Bank approximately marks the course. A fresh alignment more to the north-west is seen on high ground just before Portgate and the Wall crosing, suggesting that the layout of the road preceded that of the Wall. The new alignment is followed to Bewclay where it turns slightly more north-westwerly and, although modified in a series of shorter straights, it follows this general course to High Rochester. The present road follows it for most of the way to Ellishaw Bridge although original agger is visible in parts. (1-2) Located on the English Heritage map of Hadrian's Wall 2010. (3)
