The modern road, which running westward from Chichester followed the coast-line, but at some distance off, through Havant, by Portchester, to Bittern and Southampton, had a Roman repre- sentative, which must hav...e been the line of com- munication in Saxon times, allowing of an easy- passage to Winchester and the interior of the kingdom. It may, therefore, be assumed without much risk that the vessels of the first West Saxon invaders themselves entered Britain by the creeks and waters running up towards that road ; and if we had to select one of those inlets in particular, we should be decidedly inclined to picture both the pirate shipping and Birinus's peaceful bark steering up the Southampton waters and thence into the Itchen.
