Olicana is enerally recognised as the Roman fort situated at the centre of where Ilkley, a Victorian spa town in West Yorkshire now stands.
A wall, once part of the fort, can still be seen near the town's manor house. Around Ilkley are four signs showing the edges of the walls of the fort.
Rivet and Smith give Olenacum as the proper form of the name and contraversially suggest it was located at Elslack.
