Concangis, Roman fort in Chester-le-Street, England
The Roman fort of Concangis spans six and a half acres along Dere Street, featuring stone walls constructed by the Legio II Augusta during the second century.
The Ala Secundae Asturum Antoniniana cavalry unit stationed at Concangis participated in military campaigns throughout Caledonia during Emperor Septimius Severus's reign.
Archaeological excavations revealed pottery, coins, animal bones, and altars dedicated to Mars and Apollo, indicating the presence of Roman and local religious practices.
The excavated officer's quarters remain visible at the site, while other sections of the fort lie beneath modern structures in Chester-le-Street.
Two large stones found in the buttress of St Mary and St Cuthbert Church originated from the Roman fort, demonstrating material repurposing from military structures.
