Vindolanda

Also known as: Vindolanda
Scope note: It was only in 1914, with the discovery of an inscribed altar, that the Roman name for the fort that is today known as Vindolanda was confirmed as such. Previously, since 1831, it had often been referred to by the name Chesterholm, which was the name given to the house which the curate and antiquarian Anthony Hedley had built in that year next to the stream in the little valley adjacent to the site of the fort. It is likely that he decided to give his house that name because of his antiquarian interests, 'chester' equating to the Roman castra - fort, and 'holm' signifying proximity to the stream. So, between 1831 and 1914 the fort and its environs and objects found there and in locations near the house were generally given the provenance 'Chesterholm'. Today Vindolanda is the name given to the site of the successive timber and stone forts and their adjacent settlements (vici). Source: Robin Birley Vindolanda (Amberley, Stroud, 2009).
