This record is for the possible prehistoric routeway known as Barton Street, that runs northwards from Louth. Its route south of Louth is most uncertain and no attempt has been made to indicate its possible route here. Parts of the route are used as roads to the present. On the eastern edge of the Wolds, keeping just above the level of the sea plain of Marshland is an ancient road called Barton Street that passes through Louth, northwards of Brocklesby to the Humber at Barton. {1}{2} Barton Street continues along the eastern edge of the Wolds past Louth to Alford. It is possibly a prehistoric routeway. {3} While it is possible that the route was utilised by the Romans it does not feature in Margery nor in Whitwell's Roman Lincolnshire. {4}{5}
