There is a fort at Verulamium:
Whilst on this subject of forts on / near Akeman Street , the distance between Cirencester and St Albans is 80 Roman miles with forts(or military settlements) at Cirencester, Asthall, Bicester (20 roman miles apart)....but the next known one along Akeman Street is the one 40 Roman miles away at St Albans, so in theory there should be another in the area of Aston Clinton / Cow Roast both which have been rich in Roman artefacts...
Any thoughts?
