Glad that not every bit of Doncaster's history has been destroyed, nice to see something left. Doncaster also has a Roman Fort site at Long Sandall which predates this one and some of the site is undeveloped, although nothing to see on the ground as it was earth ditches and banks and probably timber. Also there was one at Rossington Bridge.
Considering the city's history, I'm surprised that this tourist attraction hasn't had a separate location yet. I saw this place on May 23, 2019. Considering the city's history, I'm surprised that this tourist attraction hasn't yet had a separate location. I saw this place on May 23, 2019.
