Alone (Burrow in Lonsdale).
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.
