Western end is a tower over the road from Calleva, which bears a plaque commemorating its building by Emperor Hadrian. At the Eastern end an earth-walled settlement. Roman Road The Roman Road does not have a popular name, but a straight line road route from Staines to London Wall can clearly be traced on modern maps via the A30, A315, A402 and Oxford Street. It passes through modern Hounslow, Brentford, Kensington and Holborn, interrupted only by a stretch of the District line between Gunnersbury and Turnham Green. An early Saxon route from The Strand out of the City via Charing Cross in northern Westminster supplemented this and became a rival road from the city to Staines Bridge. The route west of Staines is known as the Devil's Highway, and it runs in a straight course to the Roman settlement Calleva Atrebatum in the parish of Silchester. The Saxons abandoned Calleva, building their own village centre nearby.
