Hi D B Campbell; thanks for your assistance 
This project can’t be too expensive, so I putted the stone-fort apart (although I still need documentation to compare the different types of forts and justify my option).
My idea was to build a timber fort with earth rampart. With time, all buildings would evolute from a timber to earth bricks with a timber structure. Are there any good excavations for this two type of forts?
And thank you for that excellent reference jvrjenivs! I can’t believe I read so much and there was sutch a intresting book out there. I’ll try to aquire it right away

Quote:I am not aware of any Roman forts in Portugal (though I wouldn't be surprised if one pops up), but there are examples in Spain to add to the usual British and German examples.From what I’ve searched until now, there are some forts, but few or none are well documented. I’m still trying to find that ?
