NS 4590 7314 In August and September 1994, GUARD carried out an excavation in advance of a proposed extension of the existing bus washing facility. The area coincided, based on Miller's (Miller 1928) fort plan (see NS47SE 8), with an area just outside the fort defences, at its western corner and at a point where there is a break in the line of the triple ditches fronting the fort. Fifteen small trenches were opened within the area of which five produced archaeologically significant remains. Several post-holes and a feature with the character and appearance of a Roman road and was similar to the pre-Wall road described by Miller (1928) were revealed. The nature of the investigation, involving the opening of numerous small, discrete keyhole trenches, precludes the identification of anything.
