I have actually visited this site before - however, I would say visit with caution. While my motorcycle was parked at the side of the road in the gateway, some people pulled up in their car and stole a few items from my bike's top box, all before I could get back to the location. Thieves operate here so you know the ol' don't leave valuables on show story!
Still, a great place to be, truly surrounded by britain's ancient history!
