Excavation on the apparently unique Roman station
at Holt, near Wrexham, still leaves it doubtful as to
what the station was. But the site has yielded Of
the most remarkable collections of pottery and tiles in
Britain. heavy stone rampant has been traced for

striking collection of Saman and other wares 30
fixes of the twentieth legion have been discovered In
