Aardenburg: coastal fortress in Germania Inferior. The ancient name may have been Rodanum. See http://www.livius.org/aa-ac/aardenburg/aardenburg.html

The final phase consists of a rectangular fort surrounded by a stone wall with towers at the corners and at intervals in between these. The whole fort was surrounded by a single large ditch. Within, a central principia was found as well as a number of wells and fragments of other buildings. Several ovens were active outside the confines of the fort as well. It was1inhabited until ~ 260-285/290.
