Ermine Street is a Roman road stretching from Bishopsgate, London to York and passing through Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, Northamptonshire, Rutland, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. It was built during the first three decades following the invasion of AD 43, though much of it may have been along existing routeways. Much of the route is still followed by roads today – elsewhere it is often visible in the form of tracks, crop marks or boundaries. Ermine Street enters Rutland from Northamptonshire between Stamford and Great Casterton, where it forms a short stretch of the county border. For most of its route northwards through Rutland it form part of the modern-day A1 (aka the Great North road), leaving Rutland and heading back into Lincolnshire to the north of Stretton. The section of Ermine Street through Great Casterton forms part of the modern-day Old Great North Road. This section of Ermine Street is in the council area of Rutland.
