	DUROCOBRIVIS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		This minor settlement grew up at the crossroads of Watling Street the main military highway, and the ancient "Icknield Way", a ridgeway running from Venta Icenorum, the capital of the Iceni in the NE, all the way to Aquae Sulis and the Sabrina Aestuarium (Severn Estuary) in the WSW.
		The site of the Roman minor settlement of Durocobrivis lies below the present town of Dunstable in Bedfordshire; evidence is therefore limited.
		Roman material has been collected from an area of around fourteen hectares, along a four hundred metre stretch of Watling Street, in places extending as far as 190 metres either side of that road.

		Dunstable grew up as a small settlement named Durocobrivis, where the Roman roads of Icknield Way and Watling Street met.
		In Saxon times the Romans abandoned the settlement and Dunstable was established by Henry I as a new market town.
		Watling Street was an important stagecoach route which brought much wealth to the town with at least two of the former coaching inns still surviving.

		The quantity of pottery recovered indicated that the site was associated with settlement, although no evidence of buildings was present.
		While the site may have had an agricultural basis, it is possible that it was associated with the early establishment of the Roman town of Durocobrivis.
		It is unclear whether the site’s abandonment in the late 1st or early 2nd century AD represents a purely local change of land use or has wider significance.

	dunstable
		Prehistoric burial mounds and earthworks on the chalk hills around our town bear witness to its importance since earliest times.
		The town sits in a gap through the Chiltern Hills on the site of a small Roman settlement called Durocobrivis, which was established at crossroads formed by the Roman Watling Street and the prehistoric Icknield Way.
		The site was abandoned in Saxon times but it was here that Henry I founded an Augustinian priory in 1131, built a palace and established a new market town.

	Big Roman Dig - They came, they saw... Roman Roads
		It enters London (Londinium) via the Old Kent Road and leaves via the West End, Maida Vale and the Kilburn High Road (A5) and continues as the A5183 where it is still known as Watling Street between the M1 and M25.
		Crossing the Roman fort and settlement of St Albans (Verulamium) it continues as the A5 through Dunstable (Durocobrivis), Towcester (Lactodurum), High Cross (Venonis – where it crosses the B4455 Fosse Way) and curves on north of Birmingham to the legionary fortress at Wroxeter (Viroconium).
		From Wroxeter several Roman roads are known which extend Watling Street to the west into Wales and other branches lead off north and south through the borders.

	News from Hertfordshire Archaeological Trust
		During the half-term holiday in October we made holes in the car park and playing field at Ashton St Peters Lower School, Dunstable.
		The town lies on the site of the Roman settlement of Durocobrivis and a new town founded by Henry I in 1191.
		Given such potential, the excavations didn’t let us down and the work indeed revealed medieval pits and ditches above features of Roman date.

		Most important of their stations was the municipium at Verulamium (W. of St. Albans) of which some fragments of wall yet remain in the neighbourhood of the River Ver and the Verulam Woods; here, too, is the site of the only Roman theatre known in Britain (of amphitheatres there are many remains).
		There were also stations at Cheshunt (Ceaster), at [Pg 36]Braughing (ad Fines), at Berkhampstead (Durocobrivis?), at Ashwell, Wilbury Hill, etc.; there was a cemetery at Sarratt; a sepulchre at Royston.
		Roman villas have been unearthed at Purwell Mill, Abbots Langley and Boxmoor.
