Digs and digging

The oddly named Pompocali, in West Yorkshire, is thought by some locally to be a Roman fort of some kind. In fact it is clearly the site of extensive stone quarrying, probably for millstone grit which is abundant in the area and widely used for building stone. There is a Roman road close by so it may well date from that period, but no one seems to have excavated it, and it does make a delightful landscape.
