Category:Gabrosentum Roman Fort

English: Gabrosentum Roman Fort, the site of an auxiliary fortification at Parton (near Moresby), Cumbria, Great Britain built by Legio Vicesimae Valeria Victrix as part of the Roman security system on the west coast of Cumbria, the so-called "Western Sea Defences". They consisted of forts and watch-towers along the north-western Cumbria's coastline in continuation of Hadrian's Wall. Visible is an earthwork on aerial photographs. It is probable that a civil settlement adjoined the fort on the south side. The church of St Bridget's occupies the north-east corner of the former fort, and excavations recorded pieces of a hypocaust, suggesting that the commanding officer's house lay on the north side of the fort.
