- Templeborough is a suburb of Rotherham located on the river Don in the County of South Yorkshire.
- It was assumed to be the site of a Roman Temple, and named after it, but is in fact the site of a Roman Auxiliary Fort whose name is unknown. No Remains exist today.
History
- There are no remains of the Roman Fort as the site was built over in 1917.
- However, excavations prior to the redevelopment produced a tile stamped with Cohors IV Gallorum.
- The unit arrived in Britannia in c.122 CE and stayed until 410 CE.
- It is known to have been based in several forts, before it ended up at Vindolanda on the Stanegate, just south of Hadrian's Wall.
