Roman fortlet at Ince, 150m north east of Hall Farm, is a small auxiliary military installation dating to the Roman occupation of Britain, likely established during the first or second century AD as part of the defensive network controlling the north-west frontier. The fortlet survives as an earthwork comprising a roughly rectangular enclosure with banks and ditches, characteristic of Roman auxiliary forts of reduced scale designed to house a small garrison rather than a full cohort. Its location in Cheshire places it within the strategic zone of Roman military presence in the north-west, though detailed archaeological investigation of the site remains limited. The precise dating, garrison size, and duration of occupation require further archaeological evidence to establish with certainty.
