Roman fort founded around 80 CE and abandoned late 4th or earlier 5th century. "Olicana" may actually not be this fort.
Olicana Roman Fort was established around 80 CE as part of the Roman military network in Britain and was occupied until the late 4th or early 5th century. Its strategic location likely supported regional defense and control, though its true identification remains debated among historians.
