There's a new website as well: http://romannottinghamshire.wordpress.com

I came on this site in 2009 to ask questions about various Roman sites in the county for a book I was writing. The book, called Roman Nottinghamshire,is now published by Five Leaves Publications and can be bought from all the usual suspects - amazon.co.uk, Waterstone's as well as the publisher. The amazon link is: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roman-Nottinghamshire-Mark-Patterson/dp/1907869123/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1309554417&sr=1-1 So just wanted to say thanks to all who answered my original questions. Book is 300 pages with around 100 illustrations, some in colour. Thanks

Interesting...but not surprising! Don't suppose you want to go public on that 'bury it' advice do you?

Thanks - very interesting. I'm trying to keep abreast of the dualling work but didn't know about the well. I'm currently taking photographs of the work since the current road at least bears some resemblance in width to the Roman road underneath. There's a public enquiry beinng held next month - do you know where this is taking place? Meantime I'll contact the Bingham people. Mark

Many thanks for that swift response - these are all sites I plan to look at, especially Margidunum and Redhill. May I ask on what you base your ideas about signalling? Is it speculation or scholarly research? The last I heard Broxtowe was still a fort but it hasn't been investigated since the 1930s for obvious reasons. May be there is some research on the site I haven't heard about.

Sorry if this isn't the right forum for this but here goes: I've been commissioned to write a book about Roman Nottinghamshire and would like to hear from anyone who has some anecdotes and stories about the county's Roman sites eg playing on the fields as kids where the fort was at Margidunum at East Bridgford, seeing the old ford at Littleborough when the Trent was low during droughts, hearing about the fort at Broxtowe that was built over, stories about the villa at Barton in Fabis etc. This isn't an advertising gimmick. The book is due to be published by Nottm publisher Five Leaves Press
