Kirkbride Roman fort is a Romano-British military installation located in Cumberland, situated approximately 370 metres south-east of Whitrigg Bridge. The fort dates to the Roman occupation of Britain and formed part of the defensive and administrative network established across the northern frontier region. Associated with the fort is a vicus, the civilian settlement that typically developed outside Roman military establishments to serve the garrison and facilitate trade. The site is further defined by a length of Roman road running in its vicinity, evidence of the communication and supply infrastructure that connected this installation to the broader Roman road system in the area.
