Reconstruction and Modern Use of The Site
From the 1960s, Brian Hobley, keeper of field archaeology at the Coventry Museum, commenced a long term project to combine excavation with a study of the methods by which Roman camps were built.
During the 1970s some features of the fort were reconstructed upon the original foundations; these are a section of the wall, a gateway modelled on images of Trajan's column, one of the three granaries and the gyrus.
The fort is open for public, school visits and organised tours and has hosted many holiday excavation trips.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or site:
“My idea is that the world outside—the so-called modern world—can only pervert and degrade the conceptions of the primitive instinct of art and feeling, and that our only chance is to accept the limited number of survivors—the one- in-a-thousand of born artists and poets—and to intensify the energy of feeling within that radiant centre.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“That is a pathetic inquiry among travelers and geographers after the site of ancient Troy. It is not near where they think it is. When a thing is decayed and gone, how indistinct must be the place it occupied!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
