Is there much research into trackways? Perhaps you could point me in the right direction. I know that work is being done on the remains of wooden tracks in wetlands, but is there any real understanding of pre-Roman long distance trade routes? We have a fairly clear idea about the Ridgeway and its extensions into East Anglia - Icknield Way and Peddars Way and I'm pretty certain that there was a route across the Wash. Much trade would have been by river and along the coast, but even so there must have been links between communities and resource centres like Langdale and Grimes Graves. We know that much of the land was cleared of woodland during the Neolithic and we know that there was large scale farming, long distance trade, wheeled vehicles by the Iron Age and probably by the Bronze Age. That means roads.
