Spot on.

We actually found it much easier to find good fossils at Kilve than at Lyme. Neighbouring Watchet was even better...

Must stop answering these. 🙄
Bit stuck for a pic, so this will have to do. Where am I?

Here's a picture of what the whole complex might have looked like in its pomp.

Not Chedworth, but equally high status.

I only picked that as I only know a few, and that was relatively close to you! There will be no science or research behind the next two guesses, just that I know of them.

OK, Fishbourne?

Not Fishbourne, that was super high status, ruling elite class, and it must be 30 years since I've been there. It's nearer to me than Chedworth and one of my favourite quiet spots.

Obviously one I don't know, as the other was going to be Luddingstone. Will have to go and "explore" online for a bit..

Guess it must be North Leigh then! Looks like a good one, but not come across it before.

Correct! As the "Roman" crow flies all of one and a half miles from me. Not as well preserved as Chedworth but it has its merits.
Your go.

The wall in the foreground is part of a large square. I was floating when I took the picture.

Forgot this.

On a large natural harbour. A castle with a cricket pitch (sometimes), Roman I assume ;)
