This is the site of the Roman fort of Vindomora (1). The square fort has now been almost destroyed by modern buildings. However, a small area of remains can still be seen. These include stretches of a grass-covered rampart on each of its four sides. The north corner has been damaged by a fence. The south corner is in the churchyard of St Ebba's church. Investigations by archaeologists have shown that there were at least seven phases of building in the fort itself:- four in timber and three in stone. This is a Scheduled Ancient Monument protected by law.
