Small unit camps?
#4
"Devon Correspondent"....is that me? i'm glad you didn't say Expert as i am definatly not that.
Alverdiscot in North Devon is 1.47ha/3.6 acres and as far as i know, never been excavated.
There is another listed at Tiverton, that has a size of 1.35ha/3.35 acres, both are very small but similar in size.Also a fort between Tiverton and Wiveliscombe exists roughly 100m by 100m...thats small.And finally the Fort at Wiveliscombe is 1.45ha/3.5 acres.
With the exception of Alverdiscot, the rest of these "forts" seem to be in an area well behind the Legionary base at Exeter and possibly in a safer area so as to allow "practice" camps to be built,a sort of Sailsbury Plain for the Legion to operate in.
Only my thoughts.
