Piercebridge Roman Fort, Roman military fort in Piercebridge, England
The defensive fort spans over 11 acres along the River Tees, featuring stone walls, double-portal gates, and remains of military structures from Roman times.
Constructed around 270 AD, this strategic outpost monitored the crossing of Dere Street, the main Roman road connecting York to Hadrian's Wall at Corbridge.
Archaeological findings from the site, including coins, pottery, and a bronze figure of a ploughman, reveal details about Roman military life in northern England.
The archaeological site remains open throughout the year with free entry, and visitors can park near the George Hotel in Piercebridge village.
The fort contains remnants of a Roman bathhouse with distinct hot and cold sections, which later became incorporated into the medieval St Mary's chapel.
