Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Roman Fort at Nether Denton The fort, its name unknown, is unexcavated but it is thought to be contemporary with the Trajanic forts on the Stanegate at Carlisle, Corbridge and Chesterholm (i.e. c.AD103). Aerial photography has revealed a large camp lying beneath two smaller fortifications, the former perhaps dating to the campaigns of Agricola, the latter built during the early Trajanic period. A similar situation is observed at the Carvoran Stanegate fort. There is evidence of a vicus or civil settlement along the Stanegate outside the fort's south-western defences, and there is a Roman Signal Station about a mile to the east at Mains Rigg (NY6165).
