MenuMagnis, Northumberland
Magnis (or Carvoran) is a Roman Fort in Northumberland. Its ruins were one of 16 forts that ran alongside Hadrians Wall. It is thought to have been sited with reference to the Stanegate Roman road, before the building of Hadrians Wall, to which it is not physically attached. It was originally built to guard the junction of the Maiden Way Roman road (running north to south) with the Stanegate Roman road (running west to east), the key supply route linking Coria (Corbridge) in the east to Luguvalium (Carlisle) in the west. As such the fort predates Hadrians Wall. The fort is now the site of the Roman Army Museum. It is within the council area of Northumberland.
