MenuCamboglanna, Cumberland
Camboglanna (aka Castlesteads) was a Roman fort in Cumberland. It was the twelfth fort on Hadrians Wall counting from the east, between Banna (Birdoswald) to the east and Uxelodunum (Stanwix) to the west. It guarded an important approach to the Wall and also watched the east bank of the Cambeck against raiders from the Bewcastle area. The fort was approximately square, measuring about 400 by 400 feet and covering approximately 3.75 acres. The site was drastically levelled in 1791 when the gardens of Castlesteads House were laid over it. The name Camboglanna is believed to mean Crook Bank or Bent Valley or Bank at the Bend because it overlooks a bend in the river Irthing. It is within the council area of Cumberland.
