Esk Garth, Cumbria

Roman walls and earthworks at Ravenglass

Uploader's Comments

Rather less photogenic than the standing walls of the bathhouse on the other side of the track, the lumps and bumps in this field are the visible remains of the fort, a mainly timber-and-turf construction that was later fortified by stonework. The railway line on the other side of the trees cuts through some of the site, in that rather thuggish way that the Victorians were sometimes prone to, but for the most part the boundary is reasonably intact.
