A series of Roman military sites, a staging post and small Romano-British town known as Letocetum, at Wall. Letocetum represents the evolution of a site from the early military campaigns to the development of a significant staging post and Romano-British small town.
The mansio and bath house are the most important buildings in the town and are considered to be the best preserved examples surviving in England. Considerable amounts of archaeological information relating to the many aspects of Roman life at Letocetum are known to survive. The monument represents a very well preserved example of its type.
