Summary : A possible Roman temporary marching camp has been found at Morley. Excavation of the East and West ditches in 1995 revealed a V-shaped profile, 3.5m wide and up to 1.35m deep. Pottery dating from the 2nd-4th centuries was found in the ditches. Running parallel to the ditches at a distance of 8.0m was a line of post-holes, thought to be a timber-laced defence or revetted bank.
