MORE INFORMATION & SOURCES

During the course of excavations by Potter in 1976-8 at the Roman fort at Ravnglass (SD 09 NE 1) the remains of a fortlet were discovered. Only the western part survived, comprising an outer ditch and a palisade trench revetting a rampart, the remainder having been destroyed in a railway cutting. Potter dated the fortlet to 120-130 AD, the earliest phase of Roman occupation, and suggested that it was a milefortlet of the Hadrianic frontier along the Cumbrian coast.(1)

Scheduled. (2)

Nothing survives of the fortlet above ground. Its relationship with the Hadrianic frontier is not yet proven. The site was dalt with as a part of the RCHME: Ravenglass Roman Fort Survey; the plan and report are in NMRC Swindon. (3)
