| Abstract: |
Reviews the evidence for Cade's Road, an undefined Roman route representing a north-south link east of Dere Street between York and the Tyne, following the excavation by Channel 4's Time Team in 2002 of a previously unknown 2nd century settlement in Hardwick East Park in Sedgefield. 18th, 19th and 20th century writings and a topographical study of 1963 are discussed, and it is concluded that at the beginning of 2002, evidence favoured the existence of a Cade's Road but its course was unproven. The discovery of the settlement at Hardwick may strengthen the argument in favour of a route via Sedgefield, but could be more suggestive of indigenous British activity than Roman military or economic development. The route of Cade's Road still cannot be regarded as certain anywhere through County Durham, and its existence as a Roman road may be questionable. LD |
