The curve on the corner can be clearly seen. The fort was initially established around 75 AD in typical 'playing card' shape but made of basic clay banks topped with a wooden palisade, later replaced with the stone walls seen here after maybe 100 AD or so. Today the site is in the stewardship of Cadw.
