Roman remains at Little Chester

The stones in the front garden of this house are not just any old rockery. They are the foundations of a Roman building which stood alongside Ryknield Street, close to the Roman fort of Little Chester in the 3rd century AD. The building was wooden, and post holes can be seen in the square stones. There is a Roman well in next door's garden (SK3537 : Roman Well at Little Chester).
