Dubmill Point milefortlet 17 is a Roman coastal fortification situated on the Cumbrian coast in Cumberland, forming part of the integrated frontier defence system that protected Roman Britain's north-western maritime approaches during the second and third centuries AD. The milefortlet belongs to a chain of small fortified installations spaced at approximately one-mile intervals along the shoreline, designed to facilitate coastal patrol and control of maritime traffic. Like other examples of this fortification type, the structure would have been garrisoned by a small military unit and provided with beacon facilities for signalling between adjacent installations, contributing to the systematic surveillance and defence of this strategically important coastal frontier.
