Brough Petuaria is a Roman fort and settlement located near Brough in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The site dates to the 1st century AD and served as an important military installation during the Roman occupation of Britain, functioning as a supply base and administrative centre for the surrounding region. The fort was strategically positioned to control communication and trade routes, and its name derives from the Romano-British settlement that developed around the original military establishment. Archaeological investigations have revealed evidence of substantial Roman structures, including defensive works and domestic occupation layers, contributing significantly to understanding Roman military logistics and settlement patterns in northern Britain during the early imperial period.
