                    details: In this narrow strip between the west wall of the stone fort, here 
              still not yet exposed, and the buildings of the vicus, is a narrow 
              strip within which the principal excavations of the pre-Hadrianic 
              fort have taken place. The photo looks north along the excavated 
              area. The remains of the earliest fort are stratified three to four 
              metres beneath the grass. The size of the accessible area, hemmed 
              in by well-preserved stone walls which must be left for display, 
              makes excavation very difficult. Image ownership: © CSAD |
