PRN 38258 - Ffrith, survey 1988

A vast quantity of Roman finds and building evidence has arisen from this village over the last four centuries. The settlement is probably civil although the quantity of XXth Legion tiles suggest a military connection.

Fieldwork in 1988 confirmed the line of the Roman road to the SW and identified the fort platform, 108m by c.130m, with possible vicus to east (Frere, S S, 1989, pp258-9).
