Edmund Artis and Castor

Castor, west of Peterborough, is the site of a substantial ("palatial") Roman structure (or series of structures). Known from the 18th century, they were fairly extensively excavated by Edmund Artis in the 1820s and have been the subject of much work since (if on a rather piecemeal basis). Upex in Britannia 42, 2011 is now the definitive account. This is Artis's plan of the structures investigated by (or just known to) him rectified to fit the modern Ordnance Survey map of the village. Although doubt has been expressed on the accuracy/alignment of some of Artis's structures, the base mapping is impressively accurate. Our own work at the barns near the south-west  corner of the map shows that there is another building range (with hypocaust) here, apparently unseen by Artis (since the barns depicted on his map still stand, it is difficult to imagine he plotted the position of his structure that far out).
