Particularly notable thanks to its extensive excavations is Wroxeter (aka Viriconium) in Shropshire, Wales, just south east of Shrewsbury. After its population peaked in the 2nd century it experienced a long decline becoming little more than a large market for rural people to trade at until this period of reoccupation when its defences were rebuilt, the crumbling stone and brick buildings in its town center that could no longer be repaired were completely levelled to provide foundations for new wooden structures. It may have served as a capitol for the Welsh kingdom of Powys.
