Ebchester Roman Fort
-
Description
Hob Uid: 22536 ....The site of Vindomora Roman fort at Ebchester. Excavations have exposed the remains of a Roman fort of two phases dating from AD 69 to AD 117, and from circa AD 150 to the end of the 4th century. The possible site of the vicus is also recorded. Much of the site has been destroyed by modern development. Supposed remains of an early Medieval church are also present. .... Ebchester Roman fort, about 400 feet square, now almost obliterated by modern buildings, was described in Gibson's 1722 edition of Camden as "a Roman station about 200 yards square with large suburbs", presumably the vicus, the only other evidence of which appears to be the discovery of Roman coins and walls during a southward extension of the churchyard prior to 1960 (2). Plan (4). (2-4) Excavations and sectioning in 1876, 1886, 1936, 1958-59 and 1959 (2), 1962-3 (3), 1964, 1968, and 1972-3 (4) (A, G, B, C, D, E, F, G, H respectively on plan) have revealed two structural periods in the rampart and intervallum road, and seven periods of building - four in timber, three in stone.... -
