Abstract
The Roman Causeway which runs from the N. E. to the S. W. of the kingdom through Hants and Wilts, is known through those counties by the name of the Portway. If I may be allowed to give this name to those ways in Antoninus's Itinera which run in a North Easterly direction from this road in Hants, and South Westerly from its Wiltshire limit, the Portway is as long as either of the two great ways in longitudinem ; and if it is a Roman way from the Eastern sea coast to Hampshire, and from Wilts to the sea coast West-ward, it would exceed them. That it does so, seems to be referred to in the charter granted by queen Elizabeth to the Borough of Andover, which is on the Portway between London and the Land's-end.
