Wandel Fortlet

Fortlet

The defences of this fortlet were discovered from the air by J.K. St. Joseph in 1960. The fortlet was almost square in outline, measuring 77 x 65 feet (c.24.3 x 19.8 m) and covered an area of only 5,000 ft² or 19 roods (c.481m²). The fortlet is only one of a series set along the same stretch of military road and exemplified by others at Milton and at Redshaw Burn.
