Derventio Brigantum, Roman archaeological site in Malton, North Yorkshire, England
The archaeological site extends beneath modern Malton, featuring remnants of Roman military architecture and settlement structures along the River Derwent.
Established in 70 AD under Agricola, the fort initially constructed with timber walls underwent reconstruction in stone during the early second century.
Archaeological excavations have uncovered evidence of metalworking, including bronze, iron, and pewter production, along with jewelry crafting using local jet materials.
The excavated remains are visible at Orchard Fields in central Malton, with artifacts from the site displayed in the Yorkshire Museum collections.
An inscription found at the site mentions a goldsmith shop, indicating the presence of specialized craftsmen in this Roman military and civilian settlement.
