Wall (Letocetum) on Watling Street was a mansio and fort complex at the junction of roads serving the Midlands. Situated between Mancetter and Lichfield, it served as a staging post for troop movements. The garrison would have conducted regular patrol actions against brigandage and tribal unrest during the unstable early Roman period, particularly during the Boudiccan revolt period when the road corridor was critical to Suetonius Paulinus\'s movement of forces.
