Background
Description
The two camps, about 500 m apart, are situated on either side of Dere Street, a Roman road in use between AD 78 and AD 211 running from Eboracum (York) into Scotland. The camps date from the 1st century AD. They are thought to have been used by soldiers advancing northwards, and by smaller groups employed in routine maintenance. Chew Green and Bremenium, nearby Roman encampments on Dere Street, lie to the north and south.
