Auris Arrectibus Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Is this place connected to the continental part of the Saxon Shore fortifications? No, it's not part of a shore fortification. Neither any kind of fortification nor near the North Sea or Canal coast. In fact, since pre-roman time it used to be a sacred place.

Ah, you're building up the excitement! :ph34r:/> No, not really. The site was down twice when I wanted to write a reply .... You're very close, Klingan! It is in the arrondissement of Avallon. Last clue: Salty wells with bubbling mineral waters, still working, somewhere near the Via Agrippa in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
