Overview

History & significance

Two Roman forts and two Roman camps at St Andrew's Hill is a complex of Roman military installations located in Devon, England. The site comprises four distinct structural elements dating to the Roman period, representing different phases of military occupation and strategic deployment in the southwestern frontier region of Roman Britain. The forts and camps demonstrate the Roman military's approach to controlling and garrisoning this distant territory, with the overlapping installations suggesting successive reoccupation or tactical repositioning across the Roman period. The archaeological remains, though now largely earthwork features in the landscape, provide evidence of Roman military infrastructure and the organised nature of Roman occupation in the southwest of the province.
