    Tips

    August 3, 2022

    Storing facility for grain.

      August 21, 2023

      The granaries at Vindolanda were the main storage facilities for the fort.
      The eastern granary was partitioned in the middle in the 4th century and transformed into a shop.
      The western granary remained a store building until the end of Roman Britain.

      After the Romans left, both granaries were converted into houses. People may have lived inside the granaries for a further 500 years.
