Horsley notes the existence of outbuildings to the S and SE of Haltonchesters fort (5b). Haltonchesters fort and surroundings surveyed at 1:500 scale in 1989 by RCHME Newcastle; plan and typescript held in NMR. Of the vicus only the remains of two buildings can be seen at NY 9976 6837. The E building is 4.5m wide and at least 12m long, bounded by a sleeper wall now reduced to a turf-covered bank, 0.9m wide and 0.1m high. The other example alongside is ill-defined and of indeterminate length, the course of its walls seeming to survive as robber trenches, 4.5m apart. These two buildings are overlain by the headland defining the NW edge of ridge-and-furrow. (5a)

RCHME plan and full report subsequently published. (5c)

A Roman vicus, comprising boundary banks and buildings is visible as earthworks on air photographs. The features, as described above, lie to the south of Haltonchesters fort and are extant on the latest 2003 oblique photography. (5d)

Excavations in 1999 identified stone strip buildings lining the road running south from the south gate at a distance of 240-260 metres from the fort, beyond the limit identified during a geeophysical survey published in 2000. (5e)
