FOSSE (or Foss) WAY

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 731 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FOSSE (or Foss) WAY , the Early
English
  name of a Roman road or
series
  of roads in Britain, used later by the
English
 , running from Lincoln by Leicester and Bath to
Exeter
 . Almost all the Roman line is still in use as modern road or
lane
 . It passes from Lincoln through
Newark
  and Leicester (the Roman Ratae) to High
Cross
  ( Venonae), where it intersects Watling
Street
  at a point often called " the centre of England." Hence it runs to Moreton-in-the-Marsh, Cirencester, Bath and
Ilchester
 , crosses the hills near Chard,
Axminster
  and Honiton, and enters
Exeter
 . Antiquaries have taken it farther, usually to Totnes, but without warrant. (See further under ERMINE
STREET
 .) (F. J. H.)
