Charterhouse
Charterhouse is a key site in Roman Britain, and has long been known, having been investigated by 19th century antiquarians. It was one of the chief sources of lead in the province, brought quickly into large scale production (by AD49 at the latest). There was a fort here in the first century when the site was under imperial control and the military oversaw mining operations, part of which has been investigated archaeologically. Although it has recently been subject to detailed earthwork survey, the site has never been subject to geophysical survey, and surprisingly little is known about its date, extent and nature.

Kenchester
The Roman town of Kenchester has been well known for many years. However, there is a further site, less than a kilometre to the south, at a bend in the River Wye on the north bank. The suggestion is that the site is Roman, and is closely related to Kenchester together the two form what is known as a bi-polar settlement, the functions of which were mutually complementary. It is possibly a river port and transhipment facility, perhaps with some industry going on as well, and may also mark the site of a bridging point across the Wye.

Dinefwr Park
The site consists of two superimposed Roman forts, revealed in detail recently by geophysics (early 2003), an earlier, larger one, and a smaller, later one. Roman pottery and coins have been turning up in this general area for many years. There is what is suspected to be a vicus outside the north-east gate, and a probable bath-house lies detached away to the north-west.

Maryport
Maryport may be a supply depot, part of a westward extension of the Hadrian's Wall militarised zone, and has been known for many years. A cache of 17 Roman stone altars was discovered in pits on the site, the largest single collection from Britain and one of the biggest anywhere in the empire, and at the end of the 19th century two stone buildings were uncovered, thought to be two temples, or a temple and mausoleum.

Medbourne
Medbourne Roman town has been known since at least the 17th century. Modern work has increased our knowledge of its extent, with large quantities of Roman pottery, and other finds, turning up. More recently, aerial photographic study, geophysical survey and limited trial excavation has confirmed a substantial Roman settlement, with an early Anglo-Saxon cemetery cut into part of it.

Frilford
An investigation into the centre of a mysterious circular feature and some shops built up against the wall of a temenos enclosure relating to a temple complex. The area is part of a Roman landscape and appears to be an 'out of town' religious complex.

Turnershall
This is a small villa and other structures within an Iron Age/R-B landscape. 2005 excavations will focus on the area round the villa, investigating magnetic anomalies to the north of the villa, and an early circular structure immediately to the east in addition to two unusually rich burials. An analysis of the teeth of the burials raises the interesting question of being able to look at the origin of the elite of the area – British or Gallic/ native or Roman, which plays into the wider themes of the nature of the Roman Conquest.

Heronbridge
The settlement of Heronbridge was very extensive, containing numerous stone buildings, including some with hypocausts, as well as at least one shrine or temple. Recent geophysical surveying has shown it to be nearly a kilometre in length. Unlike other settlements of this type, Heronbridge is free of modern settlement. Only a small percentage of the site has been explored and there is still much to learn.

Whitehall
A Roman villa, dating from the early 3rd century, with an Iron Age settlement close by. The villa has been partially excavated and is the subject of ongoing work, with digging having gone on over the last five years. The site lies on a gently sloping hillside with spectacular views over the surrounding countryside. There have been numerous finds, some of which are extremely good examples of their type.
