Exeter was established by the Roman in 55AD by the 2nd Augustan legion they built the original walls using 4 different types of stone.At this point Exeter was known as Isac.all the photos here were taken around a relatively new part of the wall around Rougemont hill and yes the Romans built a castle here on the hill only small parts of it are left. This part of the wall may be younger but it is still over a 1ooo years old

Amazing how well their structures last.  The modern reinforced concrete starts tospall and disintegrate after just a few years.  The Roman's quality control must have been, to use that much over-rated word, 'awesome'!
