Abstract:		 Evidence of stone buildings has been recorded across the fort, with magnetic enhancement suggesting some structures probably had hypocaust systems. Possible roadways crossing the interior of the fort have also been identified as well as some open spaces and a near-circular anomaly of uncertain antiquity. The complexity of the responses has precluded the creation of a definitive plan of the fort interior. Although speculative, a potential second phase to the fort's construction has been suggested with a squared-off layout. There is no evidence for an extensive vicus south of the fort, in fact very little was found here other than a slight increase in noise immediately outside the southern defences. It could be that any settlement here was predominantly timber built. Strong anomalies at the foot of the scarp forming the fort's eastern defences are suspected to be a build-up of archaeologically enhanced deposits which have slipped down-slope since the fort went out of use. No clear evidence of defences other than the natural lie of the land could be found in the data from the east side. Responses from ridge and furrow and a former golf course have been detected within the fort and on the ground immediately surrounding it. A small survey area to the north of The Morritt Arms Hotel revealed nothing that could be attributed an archaeological origin.
