Encyclopedia Britannica



ICKNIELD STREET

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 271 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
ICKNIELD STREET . (I) The Saxon name (earlier Icenhylt) of a prehistoric (not Roman) " Ridgeway " along the
Berkshire
 
downs
  and the Chilterns, which crossed the Thames neat Streatley and ended somewhere near Triitg or Dunstable. In some places there are traces of a
double
  road, one line on the hills and one in the valley below, as if for summer and winter use. No modern highroad follows it for any distance. Antiquaries have supposed that it once ran on to Royston, Newmarket and Norfolk, and have connected its name with the Iceni, the Celtic tribe inhabiting
East
  Anglia before the Roman conquest. But the name does not occur in early documents so far
east
 , and it has certainly nothing to do with that of the Iceni (Haverfield, Victoria History of Norfolk, i. 286). See further ERMINE
STREET
 . (2) A Roman road which ran through Derby, Lichfield,
Birmingham
  and Alcester is sometimes called Icknield
Street
  and sometimes Rycknield Street. The origin of this nomenclature is very obscure (Vitt. Hist. of
Warwick
 , i. 239).
(F. J. H.)
