About Birdoswald Roman Fort, Cumbria
Birdoswald Fort was built in the second century as one of the auxiliary garrisons along Hadrian's Wall, housing infantry cohorts that patrolled and defended the Roman frontier in northern Britain. Excavations show occupation continuing well after Roman withdrawal, with timber halls raised within the fort into the fifth century. It illustrates the transition to early medieval Britain.
