Archeologists from Mainz say the camp near the Hunnenring at Hermeskeil dates from the Gallic Wars.
In German: http://www.uni-mainz.de/presse/53009.php
They also say its about 26 ha large and in the line of sight of the Hunnenring
a late-La Tene (gallic) fortification.
First dateable finds during the excavation campaign of 2011 were hobnails from one paved gateway, which were typically "late republican". Finds of pottery have confirmed this.
A translation will follow "as sleep permits".
