Roman camp gate?

[mcbishop]

This is not a fortress gateway, but the arcade between the crosshall and rear range of offices in the principia of the fortress at Burnum. I visited it in 1987 with the JERPD and we crawled all over and around it, photographing it from every angle. There are portions of the fortress walls surviving (it is perched on the edge of a very spectacular gorge), including a very nice rounded corner. There is also an old engraving of the remains, in a slightly better condition, in Anne Johnson's book Roman Forts. Good to see it survived the recent unpleasantnesses in that region.
