Hi Bernard,
Why not Britain? Many walled towns received the name '-caester/-cester/-chester' after the Roman period, e.g. Glevum-Gloucester, Corinium-Cirencester, Viroconium-Wroxeter, but also Deva-Chester.
Might this also not be the case with -kester? Must it be a Roman fort, or could it be a walled settlement?
