Site of Ro fort under ploughland. Cropmark photos show that the fort measures approx 220m by 190m, and has a clearly visible entrance to the SW. It lies on a slight plateau in surrounding flatlands and is near to the hillforts of Oxton and the so-called fort at Combs Farm. This fort probably dating to the period when the Fosse Way was the frontier line in the mid C1. (5)
