A shame it was never identified for preservation before now.

The Romans didn’t keep the building’s drawings and permits?

Oh it has been. That's the beauty of it. The site has been known for years but the owners would not give permission for it to be excavated. There is an entire Roman fort under there just waiting to be dug up (apart from part of one corner that has been eroded away. Cant do much about that).

I've been to Ravenglass many times. Its a lovely little place, with its own private narrow gauge railway (the ratty) and some very picturesque waterfalls. I'm glad the archeologists have finally been given the go ahead to dig though.

Any US archeology students fancy a good field trip? :)
