Old Carlisle Roman Fort
Near Wigton, Cumbria - England, UK
|
| It was Olenacum to the Romans who bulit it in the first Century AD as home to a partly mounted auxiliary regiment. A settlement grew up around it, but was abandoned some time after the Romans left Britain in the early 5th Century. Little, apart from earthworks, now remain as the stones were removed to rebuild Wigton in the 18th and 19th centuries. |
