Perhaps the speculative Roman settlement was at Amble rather than Gloster Hill. I think Gloster hill was investigated but nothing more that the altar fragment was found. The Romans we the masters of the paved road, and roman coins were found at the bottom of the Wynd in a works trench.
British Roman trunk roads were an average 23' or 7 metres wide. I think Amble must have been an important Roman Port at one time. - just kidding!
