Chester's Roman Fort Site

Chester's Roman Fort, or Cilurnum/Cilurvum, was a cavalry fort along Hadrian's Wall. It is in excellent shape due to John Clayton's efforts.
Above is what it may have looked like. Note the community to the South of the fort and the bridge to the East of it.

  The barracks.
The remnants of the bridge foundations on the other side of the river.

 Bath House by the river.
