Templeborough Steel works and the site of the Roman fort. The steel works closed in 1994 although the buildings remain. Scrubland is regenerating to the north of the site. The works was opened in 1917 on what had formerly been fields. The closeness of the River Don probably led to the fields being utilised as meadows or pasture. Prior to the construction of the steel works, excavation of the Roman forts took place. There had been an earlier investigation of the site in 1877-78. Excavation revealed evidence for three forts at the same location. The first was built with earth ramparts and dated to around 54AD. It covered approximately 2.6 ha. The fort was reconstructed in stone, slightly smaller, in the early 2nd century. The third , and smallest, fort is undated and was constructed from the remains of the earlier forts. There was a civilian settlement or vicus associated with the fort to the south and west. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible.
