| Temple of Mithras (Carrawburgh) | Ancient Temple | England | Northumberland | Visited | 23rd Jun 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Temple of Mithras, Brocolita: This being a Sunday, there was a constant stream of visitors, most of whom ignored the fort and came straight down to the temple.

| Aesica Vallum Round Barrow | Round Barrow(s) | England | Northumberland | Visited | 23rd Jun 2019 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Aesica Vallum Tumulus: This tumulus is marked on the OS map and recorded in Pastcape. As we were nearby, and the tumulus was a simple walk along the metalled road, we walked along to take a look. The field had just been harvested, so we popped in to take a quick look.
Just to the south of the tum... Read More |

| Aescia Roman Fort | Stone Fort or Dun | England | Northumberland | Visited | 23rd Jun 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Aesica (Great Chesters) Roman Fort: In a repeat of our last visit in November 2016 (when we came here to see where the Roman aqueduct finished) we parked just off the small, gated road at NY 70421 66432, by the track leading up to Modern Farm and the Hadrian’s Wall Path.
