[1] All over the Roman Empire, roads were carefully planned and laid out to link centres of occupation together.
[a][4][5][6] Firstly at the hedge, south along Stane Street to Kingsham, thence south-west along the road to the hedge outside the little stony ford, due south to the head of the eastern stream, so west along the stream to Stockbridge, so north along the Fore Street to the southgate.The charter suggests that the route ran from the south of the city to the west side of Kingsham Farm.
[4] In the Chichester area there were three roads to neighbouring urban centres, plus other routes that provided convenient cross-country links.
Locally there is some evidence that there was a road[b] from the west of Sidlesham, that went across the peninsula from Birdham, near what is now, the Chichester Canal to the open coast at Bracklesham.
It is also likely that the Chichester to Sidlesham Way extended to the Roman settlement at Selsey Bill, however the evidence for this is largely circumstantial.
