This surprised even the experts, because the field is relatively far north of the limes; clearly a relatively late stage of the Roman Empire can be assigned and also harbored numerous finds.

At the original location, the archaeological site at Oldenrode, tours take place continuously, organized by the tourist office in Bad Gandersheim.
