Abstract:		 Comprises three reports of recent fieldwork at Roman military sites. Mike Bishop describes an `A1 discovery' (6) -- that the complex revealed by APs at Roecliffe, North Yorkshire includes the remains of three previously unidentified forts and extra-mural settlement. The Roman features were found after a geophysical survey intended to investigate the possibility of prehistoric evidence associated with the Devil's Arrows stone alignment. Although avoiding the latest fort, the motorway passed through the extramural area, and excavation within a twenty metre wide corridor revealed strip buildings with evidence for industrial activity and structures associated with the two earlier fort phases. Geoff Bailey reports on a `Missing fort recovered' (7), at Falkirk on the Antonine Wall. Here, excavating one step at a time ahead of the developers, a local team investigated 80% of the site and found evidence of a native enclosure superimposed by part of a Roman fort. This proved the location of the fort whose existence was beginning to be doubted by archaeologists. Nick Hodgson writes of recently discovered Iron Age occupation and an early Roman fort phase discovered in ten years of fieldwork at the site overlooking the River Tyne, in `South Shields on parade' (7).
