Abstract: |
The concentration of buildings immediately to the south of the fort were bounded by ditches. The distinct definitions of the area given by the enclosed settlement, together with the clear allocation of land to field systems to the west of the fort, supported the thesis that the areas around the fort were precisely defined both in extent and use at a very early date by the army. The line of the footpath to the south of the site was clearly shown on the survey and as it crossed the vicus, it was possible that damage to archaeological deposits have already taken place.
