Healam Bridge

[mcbishop]

The BBC are carrying the story about the Roman 'industrial estate' at Healam Bridge explored during the current upgrade to the A1 in North Yorkshire. As the article hints (a little confusingly) it is thought to be the vicus of a fort at Healam Bridge (which the road has been diverted to avoid). I have to declare an interest in this as I am dealing with the smallfinds from it and visited it during the excavations. The link to the (OMG, 'disappeared'!) Ninth Legion is, to put it politely, speculative ;-) )
