Ariconium

Ariconium was a road station of Roman Britain mentioned in Iter XIII of the Iter Britanniarum of the Antonine Itineraries [1]. It was located at Bury Hill in the parish of Weston under Penyard, about 3 miles east of Ross on Wye, Herefordshire, and about 15 miles southeast of Hereford [1]. The site existed prior to the Roman era, and then came under Roman control [1]. It was abandoned, perhaps shortly after 360, but precisely when and under what circumstances is unknown [1]. Finds have included pre-Roman British coins, including one minted by Cunobelin, and coins from the Roman arrival until 360, after which there are no coins found [1].
