The Ninth Legion arrived in Britain in AD43 but vanished from the record 80 years later .

It is known this part of the army went on to set up a fortress in Lincoln .

But Dr Elliott believes he has found substantial clues indicating the advance was marked by a battle near Creswell .

He believes superior Roman artillery led to an overwhelming victory.

The mystery of its fate has fuelled several works of fiction and is still the subject of lively scholarly debate. Dr Elliot said: "The battle at Markland Grips was just the first phase of Roman occupation. "The landscape here also shows clues to how Rome settled and ruled the area - there is so much more to discover.".
