The long-held belief that the Romans introduced “proper” roads to the UK has been thrown into doubt after the discovery of a thoroughfare engineered by iron age Britons.
Archaeologists working at a quarry in Shropshire have found a metalled and cambered road dated to the first century BC – around 100 years before the Roman invasion.
The discovery seems to show that the iron age Britons were better and more imaginative engineers than they are generally given credit for.
