Description
Hob Uid: 1012188.....The site of a vicus associated with Beckfoot Roman fort, seen as cropmarks and mapped from air photographs. Probable remains of the vicus are visible to either side of the road which runs out from the north gate of the fort, for a distance of 236 metres. Rectilinear enclosures, many incomplete, and with dimensions of 15-17 metres by 7-8 metres are visible. To the north-east of the fort, and 77 metres east of the road at NY0906 489, is the curved corner of a feature which continues for 16 metres to the north, and 9 metres to the east; this may be the approximate position of the "building" found by excavation. Its line may continue further to the north. Evidence discovered during excavations in 1879-80 indicated a building north-east of Beckfoot Roman Fort, allegedly a bath house of which there is now no trace..... -
