More about this scene
The lower part of this strange structure is Roman; it was the west corner of the Roman fort. The upper part is 14th-century. Inside, there is a small ruined tower. When this stretch of the wall was excavated, the archaeologists found that the ramparts dated from Roman, Saxon, Viking, Norman and medieval times, and that the earth bank grew with each occupation.
