Bar Hill Roman Fort
- 80 AD Possible Agricola Fort here 58 metres by 48 metres although recent excavations say this is doubtful.
- 142 AD a new fort built 121 metres by 120 metres
Many finds here – there was a good deal of pottery, ballista balls, a copper pot, a bell, a compass leg, four ‘rude stone busts,’ walnuts, hazel nuts, oyster shells, ‘bones and skeleton heads of the short-horned Celtic ox and a few coins. These coins supported the theory that the ‘vallum was abandoned in the reign of Commodus.’
