The worn lanes in the grass show that this is the location of Calverton Car Boot, held every Sunday, where modern antiques may well be found. Below the grass are more ancient remains, this being the site of two successive Roman encampments, the site being designated a Scheduled Monument. There are no surface earthworks, the camps having been identified through crop marks.
