Roman controlThe fort is a possible site of the battle of 47 AD mentioned by Tacitus, between the Iceni tribe and a Roman auxiliary force under governor Ostorius Scapula. Human remains have been found around the site including sword-marked adult bones and the cleaved skull of a child, indicating that the inhabitants were trapped and attacked within the settlement. The remains of a multi-storey Roman tower have also been excavated within sight to the north of the Stonea Camp fortifications.[2] The building was possibly constructed to suppress further tribal rebellion or settlement at this site. Excavation and restorationExcavation work was carried out in 1980 by the British Museum, and restoration work followed in 1991 to recover the outer bank system and ditches which have been worn away by agriculture. The Cambridgeshire County Council Archaeology department has continued to carry out restoration work at the site. To prevent further damage by agriculture, the area is now designated as a pocket park[2] and scheduled ancient monument.[1] See also
