Why it's Wildland

3.7

The name suggests a Roman site beneath the modern town, but the supplied evidence does not establish that an underground shrine is here. St Albans Museums confirms that Roman remains survive in Verulamium Park, including a hypocaust near the museum.

Its appeal is the chance to encounter Roman remains in the landscape of Verulamium, one of Roman Britain’s major towns. The exact feature represented by this listing’s pin needs confirmation, so treat the ‘underground shrine’ name with caution.
