Concangium is a Roman fort located near Piercebridge in County Durham, strategically positioned on the River Tees. The fort dates to the second century AD and served as an important auxiliary installation along the northern frontier of Roman Britain, likely garrisoned by cavalry units. Archaeological investigation has revealed the characteristic layout of a Roman auxiliary fort, with evidence of stone and timber construction phases reflecting the site's occupation and modification over several decades. The fort's location on a river crossing made it significant for controlling movement along a key route through the north of England during the Roman period.
