fortlet

It comes from the fortlet which was built in 1644 for the new town's protection.

There was also some kind of 'fortlet' here in the 1st century, and an amphitheatre.

A sign indicates a small track up to Martinhoe fortlet.

The vicus was abandoned around the same time as the fortlet fell out of use.

The fortlet was built over the south of the fort, making it difficult to discover what lay beneath.

Nevertheless, the entire fortlet interior appears to show a slightly higher resistance than the area outside the site.

The fortlet's gateway, roughly 2 meters wide, stood in the middle of the western wall.

A civilian settlement is located to the south of the fortlet's defences.

It was replaced by a smaller fortlet, built in c. 105, around which a civilian settlement grew.

A civilian settlement or vicus grew around the fortlet in the early 2nd century.

The latter, previously known only as a rectangular air photo target, had been thought to be an entirely new fortlet.

No example dating from earlier than the late 5th century was found, including those found within the fortlet's foundation trenches.

Although the fortlet was built on the same site as the fort, it did not use the same foundation trenches.

Captain Cuthbert Vaughan was the fortlet's commander with 240 men.

A Roman fortlet, known as Milefortlet 16, has been located at the west end of the village.

A Roman fortlet can still be seen at Kinneil Estate.

The fortlet was thought to have been lost to coastal erosion, but was located on aerial photographs in 1977.

The 1980 excavations revealed the fortlet's front and rear gates and an oven.

The fortlet underwent three phases of occupation during the second century; at the end of which it was abandoned.

Archaeologists no longer accept this break in the sequence, and this final fortlet is now known as Milefortlet 25.

On the rampart stood a wooden palisade, at least ten feet high, with a walkway running the length of the fortlet.

Within the south eastern half of the fort, a fortlet was constructed, also in turf and timber, c.AD 105.

Nothing can be seen on the ground but the fortlet is visible on aerial photographs as faint cropmarks.

Its defences are so well preserved that archaeologists once thought it was either a Roman fortlet or a medieval manor-place.

The fortlet is about 2 kilometers southwest of the Roman fort of Alauna.
