This volume describes the results of three excavations within the interior of Metchley Roman forts, Birmingham, completing the publication of extensive excavations from 1934 to 2019. In the right side of the praetentura (Area M12) a possible stable or barrack-block belonging to the mid-Neronian fort was succeeded by a clay-floored fodder store or stable, which yielded a rich assemblage of charred plant remains - principally grassland plants. The excavated part of the right side of the central range (Area M20) recorded post-pits cut by beam-slots probably belonging to the principia of the mid-Neronian fort. This building was later levelled in preparation for the layout of irregular buildings belonging to the later Neronian military stores depot. Part of the re-cut eastern defences of the Flavian fort was investigated in Area M25.This book has been published with the support of a Historic England publication grant.
