The Roman fortlet situated approximately 200 metres south-southeast of Castrigg is a military installation dating to the Roman occupation of Britain. The fortlet represents one of a network of smaller auxiliary installations that supported the broader Roman military infrastructure in the north of England, particularly in relation to the control of the Lake District and the approaches to Hadrian's Wall. The site exhibits the characteristic compact rectangular layout typical of Roman fortlets, though its precise dimensions and state of preservation reflect the challenges of maintaining archaeological visibility in upland terrain. This monument illustrates the Roman military's systematic approach to securing and garrisoning the frontier regions of Westmorland during the first and second centuries AD.
