Track at West Gate of Bremenium Roman Fort
"The Roman fort at High Rochester was known in Roman times as Bremenium. It developed over several hundred years, but the first fort built here dates to the time of Agricola (AD78-85). A larger fort was built here during the Antonine period (AD139 to the late second century) and this in turn was replaced in the Severan period (early third to late third century AD). Its final phase was in the time of the emperor Constantine, between about AD306 and the mid fourth century. Quite a few excavations have been carried out here in the 19th and 20th centuries providing information about the development of the fort and the people who lived here. Work in the 1990s has also used geophysical survey to locate features such as an aqueduct and Dere Street Roman road. Today, there are still impressive parts of the fort wall and gateways to be seen. This is a Scheduled Monument and Grade II Listed Building protected by law."
