Vindobala, Ancient Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall, Harlow Hill, England
The fort site covers 1.8 hectares with dimensions of 157 meters north-south by 117 meters east-west, featuring defensive walls and ditches.
Records indicate that soldiers of Cohors I Frisiavonum from the Netherlands operated this military installation during the fourth century of Roman Britain.
Archaeological excavations revealed evidence of varied Roman military diet including ox, sheep, pig, red deer, oysters, and edible snails at this location.
The fort remains are visible in fields along both sides of the B6318 road, which follows the ancient route through the Roman military compound.
An altar dedicated to Mithras by Lucius Sentius Castus, a centurion of the Sixth Legion, was discovered at this military installation.
