Quote:There is one thought concerning the Vallum which comes from knowledge of the river front in the centre of the City, the Castle and it's Keep where this fort was built is very high above the river bank. It might even be said that the road coming off the Roman bridge may have been very near to a one in one climb to the fort. It may well be there was no need to have it at this point, for indeed it does not travel from the City eastward to Segadunum.
Sorry, what exactly are you referring to Brian? The defensive ditches surrounding the fort?
