NORWICH (Town) ENGLAND
Condate (Northwich) Cheshire, England.
A settlement on the Roman road (Watling Street) from Deva to Mamucium, roughly
midway between them. King Street passes 2.5 km E of the site, which is on the
W bank of the Weaver overlooking its confluence with the Dane. Occupation began
in the Flavian period probably with a fort, and continued into the Antonine period.
Redevelopment in the “Castle” area in the late 1960s enabled excavations
to take place. An auxiliary fort of unknown size was established in the 70s of
the 1st c. A.D. It was abandoned early in the 2d c., and then reoccupied in the
Hadrianic period when the defenses were reconstructed in stone and new timber
internal buildings erected. Final evacuation took place ca. 140; subsequent civil
occupation included iron roasting or smelting and some pottery production.
