Brocavum, Roman fort in Brougham, England
The fort remains include earthworks positioned near the convergence of River Eamont and River Lowther, with three Roman roads intersecting at this location.
The settlement was established after the revolt of Venutius in the early 70s AD, serving as a military base at strategically important crossroads.
Six stone dedications to the local deity Belatucadrus were discovered at the site, indicating the religious practices of Roman soldiers stationed there.
Visitors can explore the archaeological remains of Brocavum through designated pathways while observing the adjacent medieval Brougham Castle structures.
A cemetery discovered in the 1960s revealed burial rites and artifacts suggesting the presence of an East European military contingent at the fort.
