Re-occupation and Refurbishment: Fourth Phase - Outpost Fort
After twenty or even forty years' absence the earth rampart immediately required an additional 'dump' of earth to strengthen it, and the fort ditches seem to have been hurriedly recut, with the inclusion of branches as an easily available additional deterrent. The buildings may have reverted to wooden construction in this 'precarious' phase. Extra-mural settlement, with a market place, existed in the South Annexe. There was capacity for 1,500 troops, not counting the South Annexe civilians. Like the initial first century Agricolan phase this second century re-establishment was probably brief.
