Pomeroy Wood

Pomeroy Wood is the site located near Honiton in Devon of a Roman military site of unknown type, probably either a fort or a marching camp, though archaeological investigations have proved inconclusive [1]. The site was investigated during improvements to the A30 Honiton to Exeter road in the late 1990s [1]. A rampart made of earth and timber was found and outside were two deep ditches with narrow ankle breakers at their bases [1]. Preserved biological finds indicate that the garrison included a cavalry unit [1].
