Brocolitia Roman Fort
Hadrian's Wall - Wall Mile 31 - Brocolitia
Extract showing Brocolitia on old OS Map, 1888.
Brocolitia (Carrawburgh) was a fort on Hadrian's Wall in Wall Mile 31. The fort was built (c. AD 130), after the completion of the Wall, to fill a gap between other forts. It is thought to have housed around 500 soldiers until near the end of Roman rule.
Key features of the site include extensive earthworks, remains of its granaries, headquarters, and bathhouse. The site includes the remains of a sizable Vicus (civilian settlement), located outside the fort to the south and west. Like the fort, it survives well as a series of earthworks and buried features. Most notably, Brocolitia includes the well-preserved Temple of Mithras and Coventina's Well shrine. Whilst the site offers limited visible structures, it is of significant archaeological importance. Brocolitia is managed by English Heritage.
