The statue remains (the head and fragments of the forearm and lower leg) were found in 1862 in the Temple of Antenociticus. The head had been broken off at the neck. The nose, mouth and chin were slightly damaged and chipped in many places. The head measures 0.32 metres high, 0.20 metres wide and 0.26 metres deep. The fragment of leg measures 0.27 metres long and 0.15 metres in diameter. The forearm measures 0.21 metres long and 0.09 metres in diameter. The statue is of a young man with a thick crop of coarse hair combed forward. There was a torque around the neck. Possibly a life-size cult statue which would have stood in a niche or against a wall in the temple. The head is classical in style but the hairstyle, diamond shaped eyes and torque are Celtic.

A road ran from the south gate of the fort (HER 208) to the vallum crossing (HER 5264). MacLauchlan's 19th century survey shows a possible causeway continuing down the hill to the mansio (HER 5265).

Pottery was found during building work in the grounds of Pendower Hall School, just north of Bertram Crescent, between Adair Avenue and Lismore Place (Museum of Antiquities 1970.2).

A stone lined grave containing a lead coffin (held in Museum of Antiquities - no. 1935.11) for a child. Found 64 metres south-east of the south-east corner of the fort, 46 metres from the apse of the Temple of Antenociticus (HER 5266).

Two parallel ditches were found running southwards from the south-east corner of the fort. The western ditch has been traced for a distance of c.71 metres. They must post-date the infilled and levelled vallum.

Building remains were observed by Petch during drainage work in the front garden of 27 Lismore Place.

While digging the foundations of 68 Bertram Crescent a pottery vessel was recovered containing a coin of Hadrian (and three others since lost). Museum of Antiquities No. 1927.141.

A complete Roman pot was found in Benwell Lane while digging a sewer near Benwell Dene House (now the School for the Blind) in 1887.

The temple of the Celtic god Antenociticus lay east of the fort between rampart and vallum. It was discovered in 1862. It measured 7 metres x 4.8 metres with thick stone walls. There was a projected apse at the southern end. There was originally a door in the north wall, later blocked and another in the east wall. Inside the apse there was an ornamental base for the cult statue. On either side was an altar, one dedicated by a centurion, the other by a prefect, probably in A.D. 181-5 [but possibly in the 3rd century]. The temple was used by officers - no evidence for civilian worship. A third altar was dedicated by the Cohors I Vangiorium. Several bases, shafts and capitals found outside the temple, once thought to be possibly part of a portico but more likely part of adjacent buildings built south, east and west of the temple. Close to the southern structure was a cremation, suggesting a combine temple and cemetery. The few coins, altars and a charred beam, point to a second century date, meaning the temple was probably built shortly after the construction of the fort. It was destroyed by fire in A.D. 196 [there is some doubt whether or not the building was restored after 197]. Three burials were laid in the apse after its ruin, but as they were aligned east-west they may have been post Roman. This is the only known shrine to Antenociticus, so he was probably a local deity. Sandstone rubble with ashlar facing. Walls stand about half a metre high. Apse contains base of cult statue of which head is now in Museum of Antiquities, Newcastle. Flanking altars are casts of originals in same museum. SCHEDULED ANCIENT MONUMENT AND LISTED GRADE 1

This was partially excavated in 1926-7 by J.A. Petch. The building originated as a simple 'barn-dwelling' or 'basilican villa' with a nave and two aisles. A large square room was formed at one end of the nave, and the north aisle was divided into rooms by cross walls. Pottery evidence suggests a date of c. A.D. 200. Three new rooms were later added to the east. The arrangement of these rooms suggests a probable vestibule flanked by porter's lodges. A stoke-hole was built against the north side of the building. It may have been a furnace or may have fed hot air into a flue. The date of these changes is unknown. The building was originally interpreted as a posting house for official travellers (mansio) - but was it an overnight stopping-place for those travelling by the imperial post or merely an inn set up as a private enterprise? It has also been suggested as an aisled barn or villa. The building measured at least 25 metres x 11 metres.
