Forts were constructed in AD 50 including here in Okehampton and nearby Tiverton and North Tawton. There is evidence of a Vicus here too where timber buildings were found adjacent to the road. Artefacts found include pottery, glass and a coin.
The information board includes a map of how the fort and road looked back then. Included in the gallery is the display from the local museum detailing the excavation.
