5 The importance of the Harroway and its eastern sector the Pilgrims' Way may have been underestimated among the communications of Roman Britain, although rightly inserted on the Ordnance Survey Map of Roman Britain (1956). There is a complete absence of known east-west Roman roads east of the Silchester-Winchester line, south of the Thames Valley and north of the Sussex Downs till the longitude of Rochester-Hastings is reached. Hence the importance of the Harroway, as can be discerned from the numerous Roman villas and farms located on or near it east of Salisbury Plain.
