All that you can see now are some earthworks and ditches but rumour has it that this the site of an epic battle between Boadicea and the Roman Suetonius. The Britons were said to have had an army of over 100,000 which far outnumbered the Romans. However the skilful Romans using better tactics, massacred 80,000 of the Britons, losing only 400 themselves.
Hard to believe now.....
