Man steht vor den Ruinen eines Burgus. Diese Karte zeigt die Gebäude, die damals hier standen und den "Standort" des Betrachters.

Eine Infotafel liefert folgende Informationen:

Spätrömisches Kastell (Burgus) an der Nordwestecke des römischen Lagers. Zweite Hälfte des 4. Jahrhunderts. Einziger Zugang durch den Torbogen vom Lager her. Ursprünglich dreistöckig mit hölzernen Zwischendecken. In der Mitte um einen kleinen Innenhof vier hakenförmige Fundamente. Sie trugen Holzsäulen, auf denen das Dach ruhte. Im Vordergrund Teile der westlichen Mauer, die bereits in der Spätantike umstürzte.
