Carvoran Roman fort is a fortified installation constructed in the second century AD as part of the Roman military infrastructure along Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland. The fort occupies a strategic position in wall miles 45 and 46, where substantial remains of the defensive circuit, including the Wall itself and the Vallum earthwork, survive between the unclassified road to Old Shield and the western field boundary. The site preserves archaeological evidence of the fort's layout and the associated linear monuments that formed part of Rome's frontier system in northern Britain. The fort remained in use throughout much of the Roman occupation of Britain and constitutes a significant component of the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site.
