There are many Roman sites in
Great Britain that are open to the public. There are also many sites that do not require special access, including
Roman roads, and sites that have not been uncovered.
The
Vallum ditch and mounds adjoining
Hadrian's Wall. It was mistakenly attributed to
Agricola before the late 19th century, but in fact was the work of
Hadrian.
Caesaromagus (Roman
Chelmsford). A Roman fort was built in AD 60, and a civilian town grew up around it. The town was given the name of Caesaromagus (the market place of Caesar), although the reason for it being given the great honour of bearing the Imperial prefix is now unclear – possibly as a failed 'planned town' provincial capital to replace
Londinium or
Camulodunum.
Camulodunum (Roman
Colchester). Oldest Roman wall in Britain, best-preserved Roman gateway in Britain, remains of two Roman theatres, oldest Roman church in UK and Castle museum
Whitley Castle, also known as Epiacum, a Roman fort at the southern edge of Northumberland on the
Maiden Way Roman road, with remarkable earthen ramparts
