Yes, the 2008 discovery of a much later battlesite revolutionized our understanding of Roman activity in Germany after Teutoberger.

I’d be surprised if there were not more to find, such as day-camps. The Romans kept groups on the other side of their borders in Europe on the string as it were with gifts, and refined goods, which they traded to those deeper in the barbarian backcountry, and so on. Prior to Claudius’ conquest of Britain, the Romans maintained relations, trade, even political clients, on the island(s?). There’s an apparent Roman site n of Dublin, in Ireland, but there’s been a lot of resistance to the idea, such that it hasn’t been excavated and researched appropriately.
