1st century AD. The Granary building contains a
museum of Roman Life with archaeological finds from
the site and a model of the Fort in 64AD. A unique
Gyrus for training horses also stands on the site
but the reconstructed ramparts are decaying as their
natural life comes to an end and are fenced off.
Parts of the site are difficult to access by wheelchair
