Time Team: Somewhere under this grass is a Roman cemetery containing the remains of soldiers from all over the empire who were stationed here in South Shields. We know it�s here because Victorian builders found loads of bodies. The fort was in use for 300 years, so the cemetery could be huge, and it�s not just full of your average Roman squaddies. There were troops from Spain & Africa there is even an intriguing reference to what could be a unit of Iraqi�s. There is just one problem, the whole thing is under a housing estate and we�ve got just 3 days to try to crack it.
