An ancient water tank has been uncovered during recent excavations at the Roman fort of Vindolanda.
“The excavators concentrated on the water tank feature and the roads surrounding it,” says Andrew Birley, the Director of Excavations at the former auxiliary facilities.
“They managed to complete the task of excavating the tank down to its flagged floor, removing the rubbish, fill and facing stones which had been pitched into the tank after its abandonment.
“These would have carried the large flag stones which were to eventually cover the feature entirely.
