Is there anything further north?
Not as far as I know.
Only the destruction evidence from Colchester can be fairly securely dated to the revolt. Evidence from London is extensive, but not completely certain. St Albans, as we discussed before, shows only minor damage, which might be thought accidental if we didn't have Tacitus's explicit mention.
Somewhere I read about a Roman fort being burnt down, but I can't remember which one, so I can't look at dating evidence.
Oh the grand oh Duke Suetonius, he had a Roman legion, he galloped rushed down to (a minor settlement called) Londinium then he galloped rushed back again. Londinium Bridge is falling down, falling down ... HOLD IT ... change of plans, we're leaving the bridge for Boudica and galloping rushing north.
