Icknield Street is in Roman Roads.

43AD. Metchley Roman Fort, Warwickshire [Map] was a Roman Fort on Icknield Street constructed soon after the Roman invasion in 43AD. The fort was around 200 square metres in area and was defended by a turf and earth bank with a timber wall, towers and double ditches. In AD 70, the fort was abandoned, only to be reoccupied a few years later before being abandoned again in AD 120.

Between 43AD and 68AD an earth and wood Roman fort was first built at Templeborough [Map]. It was later rebuilt in stone. It is thought to have been occupied until the Roman withdrawal from Britain c. 410. Icknield Street crossed the River Don near the fort.

Icknield Street, aka Ryknild Street, is a Roman Road from Bourton-on-the-Water [Map] to Templeborough [Map]. Icknield Street is road RM18 in Ivan Margary's book 'Roman Roads in Britain'.
