Roman Marching/Temporary Camps

[Nerva]

Excellent :!:

I have to agree with you on a number of things Duncan. Camps of the size I'm talking about would have been of little use militarily. At best they could only have accommodated 2 century's or so and were most likely built to accommodate troops during the construction of the wall. Ultimately we intend to convert our temporary camp into a permanent fortlet like Barburgh Mill.

Next week-end we will be cutting and saving the turf sods. I should probably say we'll be starting to save the turf sods as it will take 8 of us a bit more than a week-end to cut out 1,200 square metres of turf hock: Any information on this camp would be much appreciated.

One interesting though, if you use Google earth and do a scan along the wall it's amazing how many forts/camps you can find
