Apologies if this has been brought up already:

Sorry about the title, it was meant to read "New Roman fort discovered" but somehow I deleted bits of it.

If Dr. Mark Merrony described the Roman fort (holding 500 soldiers according to the article) as "humongous", how would he describe a legionary fort?

true that, maybe meaning the site is large perhaps and will take a while?

Time Team would be done in three days!

Obviously an Auxilliary fort keeping an eye on the wild Welsh!

Great post. I bet there's even more out there yet to be discovered. Time will tell, I guess.

There are tame Welsh, Herkybird?

@Robert P – we have an old Welsh word for tame which we use " Eang'lisi". Sounds something like "English"
