Overview

History & significance

Remains of Roman aqueduct is a structure dating from the Roman period, likely constructed during the occupation of Britain between the first and fourth centuries AD. The aqueduct would have formed part of the infrastructure serving a Roman settlement or fort in the Durham region, transporting water across the landscape to supply military or civilian populations. The surviving remains demonstrate the engineering sophistication of Roman construction techniques, though the extent and precise configuration of the original structure are constrained by the fragmentary nature of what endures. Such aqueducts represent important archaeological evidence of Roman administrative and military organisation in northern Britain.
