Wow. We wake up to this.. Our understanding of history is turned on its head. I do note that they only refer to South Wales. The Romans would have been too scared to vnture into the misty valleys of Gogledd Cymru. Pussies.

I wonder how long it will take to excavate this site. This is an exciting find.

I suspect it will take years. Might be awkward if there are houses there.

There is a roman camp a few miles from here in Wroxeter. It is a faxcinating visit. You can really picture how it was. Has all their old tools hanging up and weapons as well..
Worth a trip if you ever come over.
