Birdoswald Roman Fort (Banna)


Birdoswald Roman Fort (known as Banna) is situated on the western part of Hadrian's Wall, about 1 mile west of Gilsland in Cumbria. The wall here was originally built using turf in around 122 AD, and replaced by stone, probably in the 130s. The stone fort was built some time later, after the wall. Banna was occupied by Cohors I Aelia Dacorum and by other Roman auxiliaries from approximately AD 126 to AD 400. Today the site is managed by English Heritage. The excavated ruins of the fort and adjacent sections of Hadrian's Wall is a scheduled monument on the National Heritage List for England and part of the World Heritage Site. Birdoswald Farmhouse and tower form part of the visitor centre complex.
