Binchester Roman Fort

Binchester Roman Fort

Class 5 walked in the footsteps of Roman soldiers through the remains of a commanding officer’s house and learnt about the importance of Roman bathhouses. Inside they managed to see one of the most intact hypocaust, or underfloor, heating systems in Britain. They also had the chance to see what it was like being an archaeologist and piece together clues to discover what life would have been like living there in Roman times.
