Birdoswald Birdoswald English Heritage

Description


One of several larger forts that were built along the wall to support the turrets and milecastles. Like Housesteads this fort sits on the wall itself, with the wall going east to west along the Norther edge of the fort. A small museum gives a very brief introduction to the site.
