Ariconium, Roman archaeological site in Weston under Penyard, England

The remains of Ariconium cover extensive grounds, featuring ancient building foundations, streets, and remnants of Roman architecture near Ross on Wye.

Archaeological evidence indicates that Ariconium functioned as a Roman road station until approximately 360 AD when the settlement was suddenly abandoned.

The site exhibits substantial evidence of iron production, with discovered bloom furnaces and forges demonstrating the industrial capabilities of Roman Britain.

Access to this scheduled monument requires coordination with local heritage organizations, as the archaeological site remains under private ownership.

The location spans approximately 100 acres and contains massive refuse piles that preserve artifacts, pottery, and both pre-Roman British and Roman coins.
