In the years 1877 and 1878 some important explorations were carried on within the castrum at Templeborough, when it was clearly shown that the quadrangular rampart of earth, as we now see it, is a post-roman work; for in the very heart of it were found fragments of Roman pottery and tiles, several of the latter bearing the stamp of the 4th Cohort of the Gauls. The earthen rampart on the south side covered two successive road surfaces, as well as the massive stones forming the base of a colonnade. Sections cut through the rampart showed how the bank had been thrown up, first over Roman work, and, at a later period, over a second road sur face. There had clearly been three occupations of this site, if not four. First there was a station built by the 4th Cohort of the Gauls, who probably came into Britain with Agricola in the year 78 a.d., and certainly engaged with him in the Caledonian campaign against Galgacus in 84 a.d. Secondly, there was a station represented by the remains of a columned building that was probably a Pretorium. There was a southern colonnade of heavy proportions, and an eastern colonnade of lighter work. The stone threshold was much worn with the tread of feet, and some stones near the gate were hollowed by the sharpening of knives or weapons. Remains of a hypocaust were found, and abundant evidence of destruction by fire. The third station was raised above the ruins of the Pretorium. Over the remains of columns and column bases a road was made, which led up to a build ing less massrve than the columned Pretorium, but still Roman in feeling though debased in workmanship. This building perished in its turn, and finally over all came the earthen rampart, surmounted probably with a wooden stock ade, and embracing in its area all that then lay in ruin on the ground. The military skill that first determined on this site for a defensive work was amply vindicated by the per sistence with which the place was adhered to through the successive changes of seven or eight centuries.
