Alone (Burrow in Lonsdale).


Pertinax

Alone being the possible name of this totally unexcavated site.This is a very important strategic fort, but the whole of the land has been in private ownership for centuries so no work-or despoilation has occured. The area was known for a plethora of Celtic hillforts (ingleborough being a particularly prominent one (see my msn blog Brigantia gallery)).

The fort stands today on a choke point of main motorway and mainline railway, indeed in this heavily cropped shot the train you see (middle left) is pasing the fort site (below the farm buildings) centre of shot.

Probably founded Ad 74-77.

We are 30 (Imperial) miles north of Bremettenacum here, 13 East of Alavana (Watercrook) .

I will now remove the previous pooor quality shot.

That is a marvelous and awe inspiring picture Pertinax. You truly are a great photographer. You're a jack of all traits, you do it in the forum and finish in the gallery.

Well that is a serious compliment-you can see me blushing as I type! Thank you very much.I have a "stitched" three photo improvement on this shot , but its too large for the gallery constraints on site. I have added a "stitched experiments " gallery to my msn blog , if you search for "Burrow 2" it gives a better impression as to why the fort had strategic significance.There are also shots at Banna, Vindolanda and Glannaventa.
