Roman Sea Mills - The Roman Ruins at Sea Mills

A Roman port town settled on the banks of the Avon between 1st and 2nd Cent. AD. The town, called Abonae by the Romans, appears to have supplied the settlement and fort of Caerleon across the Bristol channel (about 38km away to the north-west by boat). In 1934 Selley, a keen armature archaeologist, was given permission to “make some trial holes” to the east of Martin and Tratman where he uncovered more walls. Shelley’s excavations are rather controversial, as nothing is recorded beyond occasional notes of finds and purchases of artefacts in his diaries. These walls are all that is left. This is a 3D record of the roman ruins, used as part of a 3D reconstruciton of the site as part of my PhD research project. You can [read more about the project and the PhD on my website](https://abirkett.cargo.site/), and [more about the reconstruciton process here](https://abirkett.blogspot.com/).
