Roman Military Sites in Britain



	Introduction	The Gazetteer is organised by Counties, preceded by summaries of groups of sites: frontiers or industrial areas. Northern England - East gazetteer is here. • Cumbria • Lancashire • Manchester • Oldham English names, Roman names where known, four figure map reference, site type, size, and history, including garrisons and associated military units. Where there is uncertainty over identification of an element a ? is used after the element: a ? before a Roman name means that the form of the name is uncertain, but that it is linked to that site. References are given for sites. These are not comprehensive, but provide the detail required to judge the existence of a site and provide links to complete bibliographies

FRONTIERS	Stanegate Frontier	The Stanegate Frontier is a suggested late first century system based on an earlier road. The Stanegate (not its Roman name) road was built circa 80 AD from Carlisle to Corbridge. There were forts approximately every 22 km (Carlisle, Nether Denton, Chesterholm, Corbridge and Whickham). Around 100 AD, following the withdrawal from Scotland, the road and its forts formed the frontier of the Province. Extra forts (Old Church, Burgh-by-Sands, Carvoran and Newbrough) and fortlets were added. There may have been defences on the Cumbrian coast. See Cumbria and Northumberland for details. The Hadrian's Wall map covers the Stanegate region.
	Hadrian's Wall	Instigated by the Emperor Hadrian the Wall was 118 km long and built c 122 - 130 AD. The Wall was originally intended to be stone from Newcastle to the River Irthing and then turf to the Solway. It had mile castles every Roman mile and two turrets between each mile castle. The Wall garrison was to have been based in forts on the Stanegate. During Hadrian's reign 12 forts were added at circa 11 km intervals (Wallsend, Benwall, Rudchester, Halton Chesters, Chesters, Housesteads, Great Chesters, Birdoswold, Castlesteads, Stanwix, Burgh-by-Sands and Bowness) to house the garrison on the Wall. Later in Hadrian's reign three further forts were added (Carrawburgh, Carvoran and Drumburgh). The last section of turf wall was rebuilt in stone circa 160 AD. Forts and the Wall were reconstructed under Septimus Severus (early 3rd century), Constantius (early 4th century) and Theodosius (circa 367 AD). The Wall was not occupied during the Antonine advances into Scotland. There were outpost forts at Birrens, Netherby, Bewcastle, High Rochester and Risingham and the frontier extended as a palisade, turrets and mile castles 42 km down the Cumbria coast, where there were also forts (Beckfoot, Maryport and Moresby). See Cumbria and Northumberland for details, but note that only visible turrets and milecastles have been included in the gazetteer.
