Extract

The Roman site at Wanborough is usually identified with the Durocornovium of the Antonine Itinerary. The settlement lies some 20–22 kilometres south-east of Cirencester, on Ermin Street, at a point where a branch road diverges to Mildenhall, and just before the main road ascends the northern scarp of the Berkshire Downs.
