The only surviving mention of it from antiquity appears in the Antonine Itinerary, where it forms part of the Roman equivalent of Watling Street, connecting Rutupiae (Richborough) to Londinium (London). It is now thought to have been located at Ospringe in Kent, after the discovery of Roman ruins between Judd's Hill and Beacon Hill in 1931,{{cite web|url=https://www.roman-britain.co.uk/places/durolevum/|title=Dvrolevvm: Minor Romano-British Settlement|publisher=Roman Britain Online}} but this remains uncertain.{{HERR |num=419935 |mname=Durolevum |access-date=15 May 2021}}
