Further work has also been carried out in the town of Wroxeter itself.

The Derby southern bypass

Excavation in advance of the Derby southern bypass, carried out by the Trent and Peak Archaeological Trust has discovered and excavated several unusual and important sites. These include a prehistoric ring-ditch, a cursus and a Bronze Age barrow cemetery.
Alchester: a Roman fort & parade ground?
Eberhard Sauer
34 - 37
Simon Crutchley begins with a note on the discovery and early investigation of the site (34). Thereafter the subsequent excavation of a Roman fort and adjacent parade ground at the Oxfordshire site is chronicled. It is thought that Alchester may have served as a garrison depot from perhaps the AD40s onwards.
