Nanstallon Roman fort
A first-century Roman fort was excavated at Nanstallon in 1965 by Aileen Fox and Professor W. L. D. 'Bill' Ravenhill. Until recently it was the second Roman fort in Cornwall, but following a geophysical survey another Roman fort has been found away near Restormel Castle. Constructed c. AD 55–60, Nanstallon fort is situated in mid-Cornwall near the Fowey-Camel trade and communication route.Nanstallon was probably a forward operating base and was strategically well placed for a Roman presence to be felt. However, the Roman Legion at Exeter was withdrawn c. AD 75, and, with no Roman town west of Isca Dumnoniorum, Cornwall settled down to four centuries of nominal Roman rule.
