Abstract

Though it is now impossible to trace a connected road from end to end, there is little doubt that a series of trackways between Norfolk and Wiltshire have from very early times been known as the Icknield Way, and it is highly probable that originally they provided through communication between the south-west of England and the Norfolk coast. These trackways appear to be prehistoric, to have been utilised but never re-made by the Romans, avoiding the upper levels of the hills and skirting the slopes where the forest presumably ended. The adjacent country is dotted with hill-forts, barrows, and remains of the Neolithic and Bronze Ages.
