Boothby Roman Fort
There was a Roman fortlet (no visible remains today) at a strategic position overlooking the River Irthing, located to the north-west of Boothby in Cumbria. It was built in the late 1st/early 2nd century to the north of Stanegate at a time when the River was the frontier - after Hadrian's Wall was built, a few miles to the north, the fortlet was abandoned. The site is a Scheduled Monument; it was partially excavated in 1933.
