.... as promised:
Local TV "MDR" says here:

...they found traces of a Roman camp ( yes, pics included!) at Hachelbich/Northern Thuringia.
There have been few accompanying finds yet that could date that camp precisely.
First supicions, however go towards the Drusus campaign of 9 BC.
The camp is sited in the course of the modern road between Hachelbich and Goellingen
near river Wipper and surfaced in the course of preliminary surveillance in the course
of rebuilding County Road (L) 2290.
Trenches by the charasteric shape of a Roman fossa have bee spotted running both
in the east and the south for ca. 425 m. A continuation of those trenches in east and south
would yield about 18 ha of internal area.
Inside the area of surveillances also a System of baking ovens with 8 individual ovens,
a "working pit" and a gate have been found so far. The gate is of that "titulum type"
(Rem.: a "near comtemporary" parallel of which has been spotted at Haltern's "eastern camp").
Ist seems that the have not scrutinized the finds of Fittings and hobnails yet, whichare also mentioned
in that note from MDR. IIRC especially the Hobnails led to a secure and fast dating of the camps
at Hermeskeil and Limburg. Maybe the shapes of "Augustean" hobnails may not make that
too easy I would guess firsthand.
Hope the links works -- it did so with me.
