Excavations on the Island of Alderney have revealed a Nazi bunker built within the ruins of the Nunnery, one of the most well-preserved Roman forts in the British Isles, reports BBC News.

Overlooking Longis Bay, the Nunnery has been in almost continuous use for  1,700 years, reports Aaron Carpenter for the Bailiwick Express.

J. Monaghan noted that the Romans built the military outpost toward the end of the fourth century C.E., when imperial control over Britain was weakening. They equipped the fort with state-of-the-art defensive mechanisms, including battlement crenellations.

“The … beautiful thing about [the Nunnery] is that it is very small and very easy to understand,” Monaghan told BBC News. “A lot of archaeological sites you go there and you actually need a PhD to understand what's going on. But the Nunnery you can understand—it’s a fort, it’s got walls, it’s got towers, you can very easily get your head around it.”
