About
Durnovaria is a archaeological in south east. (Archeological site in the United Kingdom.) Wikipedia notes: "Durnovaria is a suggested spelling for the Latin form of the name of the Roman town of Dorchester in the modern English county of Dorset, amended from the actually observed Durnonovaria. Upon the assumption that the name was originally Brythonic, it is suggested that the first element in the name, *durno- may mean 'fist' like and the second may be related to Old Irish fáir ~ fóir denoting a confined area or den.".
