Very little remains of the old Roman Fort at Melandra, near Glossop
But from the air, the earthworks are clearly discernible.

Good pictures, and from your drone, you can see the outer boundaries, bet there used to be a lot of activities there.  Thanks for sharing.

At ground level, a few stones of the later foundations can be spotted in the undergrowth.
The grass cutting and preservation of the site are maintained by local organisations.

Thank you. Yes, historical references inform us that it dates back to the middle of the first century A.D.
At one time an important outpost, on an elevated site.

Thanks. Now that the urban sprawl has enveloped the site, it's difficult to imagine its original purpose of strategic importance in a remote wilderness.

Indeed   There never was a castle, it's just the name of the location.
Much like Chateau Gontier in France, which has no chateau
The hill was of strategic importance to the Romans, who maintained a fort
there for many years.

Great shots Blériot.    Easy to see the outer boundaries of the old Roman fort.

I know you posted this a while back but I searched for Castle and this was one of many videos that popped up.
