Wroxeter Roman Fort is a Romano-British military installation situated near the village of Wroxeter in Shropshire, England. The fort, known as Viroconium in antiquity, was established in the mid-first century AD and served as a significant auxiliary fort guarding the frontier during the Roman occupation of Britain. The site contains substantial archaeological remains including the visible hypocaust system of the bath house, erected in the late first or early second century AD, and encompasses evidence of multiple phases of occupation spanning several centuries. Wroxeter represents one of the most extensively excavated Roman forts in Britain, with remains of its defensive ditches, internal buildings, and associated vicus settlement still visible across the landscape today.
