Okehampton: site of Roman fort
Looking north west. The fort was constructed in the period after AD 50 and is thought to be contemporary with a legionary fortress at Exeter. Its main axis is aligned north-north-east and it may have stood on the Roman road from Exeter to the west, which ran by a larger establishment at North Tawton. See also: Francis Griffith, Devon’s Past: An Aerial View. Devon Books 1988, 50. The fort was discovered on an aerial photograph in 1975
A Roman road running eastwards from the fort to the next military base towards Exeter, at North Tawton, was discovered circa 2013 during an archaeological dig in advance of proposed residential expansion at Okehampton. It links to the east gate of the fort at Chichacott Lane and was found to be eight metres wide.
The fort was garrisoned between AD50 and AD85.
