As nearly everyone knows, the Romans legions while on march knocked off early enough in the afternoon to build a protective fort which included trenching outside of a palisade. Every tent and headquarters was erected in the same plan every day so soldiers knew exactly where they were in the encampment, even at night.

It was a routine that stood them in good stead over the years.

Every day, when the legion moved, a new fort was created at the best defensible site. So remains of an older route march fort location under the site of a later permanent fort probably wouldn’t be unusual
