Bainbridge Roman fort and annexe
Bainbridge Roman fort and annexe, Roman military fort in Bainbridge, England
The rectangular fort covers 2.5 acres near the River Ure, featuring defensive ramparts, ditches, and an additional 1.8-acre annexe built in the third century.
The fort was established around AD 90 during the Flavian period and served as a base for the Sixth Cohort of Nervians between 205-208 AD.
Archaeological excavations have uncovered Roman artifacts, including pottery, tools, and coins, revealing details about military life and interactions with local populations.
The site maintains visible earthwork remains of the fort's defensive structures and is protected under English heritage laws as a scheduled monument.
The fort's location diverges from typical Roman military placement strategies, as it stands isolated from major Roman roads and other military installations.
