Pennocrucium is a Roman fort site situated east of Stretton Bridge in Staffordshire. The fort was established during the Roman occupation of Britain, likely in the first or second century AD, and formed part of the military infrastructure controlling the region. The site occupies a strategic location on the route between other Roman settlements, reflecting the importance of road networks in Roman military administration. Though now largely below ground, excavations and surface evidence have confirmed the presence of Romano-British occupation at this location, making it an important record of Roman military presence in the Midlands.
