Upper Icknield Way

The Upper Icknield Way is mentioned in the article the Pre-History of Lacey Green by Ian Kelloway (click Ian & Sue Kelloway for more about Ian). The following is an excerpt to this article, " The Upper Icknield Way which has been incorporated into the Ridgeway Path is thought to be a Neolithic route way although recent excavations whilst constructing the Aston Clinton by-pass could not find any evidence of this route and some experts are suggesting that this route way was a much wider freeway and was not tracked until maybe as late as the late Saxon period.  The Lower Icknield way is a Roman road, whether it was in existence prior to this is in question.   A very good example of this Roman road continues into the fields at the end of Mill Lane in Chinnor.
