Site of Roman signal station, Broom Hill, Consett (Consett)
This is the approximate site of the foundations of a building. They were described by a historian in a book written in 1823. The building was square and was interpreted by the author as a Roman watch tower (2).
t is impossible to say whether this interpretation was correct or not, as the site is now under modern housing and nothing of this earlier building is visible (1).
D1894
