Trimontium Roman Fort was discovered in what is now farmland at this site. There was the northernmost (in Britain) Roman amphitheatre here, still visible in as a grassy hollow. The site was discovered in the early 1900s by a local amateur archeologist James Curle.
There is a good information board here as well as an observation tower, which, incidentally (or not so incidentally?), provides great views to the north of the Leaderfoot Viaduct.
