Old Penrith (Voreda) Plumpton Wall is a Roman fort wall situated near Penrith in Cumberland. The site represents the remains of Voreda, a auxiliary fort established on the Stanegate road during the Roman occupation of Britain, likely in the late first or early second century AD. The surviving masonry demonstrates the substantial construction techniques employed in Romano-British military architecture, with the wall forming part of the fort's defensive perimeter. The monument preserves important evidence of Roman frontier infrastructure and the strategic garrison system that maintained order across northern Roman Britain.
