Throp Roman fortlet is a small Roman auxiliary fort situated in Cumberland in the north of England. The fortlet dates to the Roman period and formed part of the military infrastructure established during Rome's occupation of Britain. Its modest size and design are characteristic of fortlets constructed to control communications and monitor movement along key routes, though the specific dating and detailed archaeological evidence for this particular site remain subjects of scholarly investigation. The monument survives as earthwork remains that reflect the practical military engineering of Roman Britain's frontier systems.
