Weighing device found at Roman fort Magna Carvoran

Magna Carvoran was a Roman Fort near Hadrian’s Wall. These grounds covering the surrounding Roman community outside the fort are usually a boggy marshland in winter.
 

Climate change, however, is impacting on the grounds around the fort. Because of dry conditions, the usually  boggy soil surrounding the fort have dried and the earth is now receding, revealing the Roman structures and other archaeological evidence buried below. 
 

Because of the risk of damage due to these changes in the terrain, new studies are now underway to preserve and document the area.

One of the recent discoveries during these excavations is this balance beam possibly used by customs officials to weigh items leaving and entering the area.
