Two Roman Roads and a Ridgeway

Still in the old Saxon estate of Olveston, its charter mentions an Ealdan Stræt and an Ealdan Herepath, both of which were ancient even in the Saxon period. What is going here and why do no Roman road maps mention some of this?

These history walk videos are about the English landscape in and around the south west of England (though I make the odd foray into Wales). I often use ancient charters (such as Saxon charters) to give me insight into the way the landscape was viewed in the past.

But it is not the Saxons that interest me the most (though they do) but the prehistoric world and its ancient monuments, trackways and ditches.
