magistra P's closest Roman remains!

[Dr Jo Ball @DrJEBall]

The #Roman fort at Lunt was established around the time of the Boudican Revolt, as part of the conflict logistics network, & remained garrisoned for about 20 years. It has a unique circular feature within the fort, which was probably used as a cavalry training area - a gyrus.
