The Y-shaped Roman structure, discovered in eastern England in the Norfolk area, can be seen in this aerial shot. Nothing like it has been discovered before from the Roman Empire. Sometime later another Roman structure (whose postholes can be seen) was built on top of it. [CREDIT: Michael Page] |

"...probably a local structure, likely an asylum built to hold people who constantly dug holes claiming discoveries"

First thing that comes to my mind is a barracks with horse stables...likely temporary, but then what do I know...

Awesomeness. I love the stories that the old buildings tell. In this case, so little is left of it, but it says so much.

It looks like an early hospital/nursing home or asylum design. A prison would not have had the open courtyard.

Kinda neat. I don’t recall a single Roman structure without square, rectangular or circular features. This is the first parallelogram I’ve seen.
