Durobrivae, Roman archaeological site in Alwalton, England
The remains of Durobrivae extend over 23 hectares within its walls, with industrial suburbs and cemeteries covering an additional 100 hectares of land.
Edmund Tyrell Artis conducted extensive excavations of Durobrivae in the 1820s, documenting buildings, mosaic floors, and numerous artifacts across the settlement.
The Water Newton Treasure, discovered near Durobrivae in 1975, contains the earliest known collection of Roman Christian silver and gold ceremonial objects.
The town wall from the late second century stands as a low earthwork, enclosing 20 hectares in an irregular polygon with north, west, and south gates.
Aerial photographs reveal street patterns and stone buildings of this Roman settlement, which developed without the strict grid planning common in other towns.
