What about "castra legionis" for Carleon in Wales?
In Germany "castra vetera", today Birten (which is part of Xanten), whose name is obviously derived from vetera.
Also there was one "castra scelerata", the "cursed camp" that was the place where Tiberius' brother Drusus died after falling from his horse when on campaign in Germania. It is not officially identified yet, IIRC, but (private ?) scholars want to locate it at Schellerten (scelerata) nearby Hildesheim in Lower Saxony.
