Banna

Castrum in Scotland, dating from the Roman

Birdoswald Roman Fort, known to the Romans as Banna, was one of the 16 forts on Hadrian's Wall. Built in the 2nd century AD, Banna, as a site, continued to be used well beyond Roman occupation. After a short period of desertion, the site was reoccupied around the 13th century and was used as a farm up until 1984. Birdoswald lies towards the western end of Hadrian's Wall and is one of the best preserved forts along the wall. It is also attached to the longest surviving stretch of Hadrian's Wall. As of June 2023, over 200 students have worked on excavations at the site. Cumbria County Council we
