The Stangate is a Roman road in Cumberland that formed part of the military communications network of Roman Britain. The road ran between the forts of Corbridge and Carlisle, serving as a crucial supply and marching route during the Roman occupation. At Crosby Lodge, sections of the Stangate remain visible as a raised causeway or agger, demonstrating the characteristic Roman road construction techniques of the second century AD onwards. The route was particularly significant during the period when the northern frontier was actively garrisoned, linking key installations across the challenging terrain of northern England.
