According to this:
https://www.krefeld.de/de/inhalt/raetsel...-geloest./ (In German)
Excavators at Krefeld-Gellep finally could make sense of the various traces of trenches around the late-roman fortress of Gellep/Gelduba
that had been spotted through the last years.
The traces strongly point towards a marching camp, that was also to be used for a longer period later on.
Coinage and other finds suggest that it was in use in the years after 341AD.
Thus it can be attributed to the actions of Flavius Constans (one of the sons of Constantine The Great) against the Franks in and after 341.
BTW : Around the late-troman Fortress of Biesheim-Oedenbutg/Argentovaria there is a similar structure.
At the moment I don't know, whether ist has been attributed to Valentinian I. or Gratian .
Best Wishes for 2024.
