The Lunt is a Roman auxiliary fort located near Coventry in Warwickshire, dating to the mid-first century AD, probably established around 60 AD during the Roman conquest of Britain. The fort is notable for its relatively well-preserved defensive ditches and the surviving remains of its playing-card shaped plan, typical of Roman military installations of the period. Excavations have revealed substantial archaeological evidence including pottery, coins, and structural remains that confirm its use as a military installation, likely housing a cavalry unit. The site has been subject to archaeological investigation and some reconstruction, making it an important example of early Romano-British military architecture and a key resource for understanding Roman military organisation in the Midlands during the early imperial period.
