Caermote is a Roman fort situated in Cumberland in the north-west of England, positioned along the line of the road network that served the Roman military occupation of Britain. The site comprises two fort structures alongside three adjacent sections of Roman road, representing successive phases of Roman frontier infrastructure. Dating to the later Roman period, the fort installations reflect the strategic importance of this location within the network of military installations that supported Roman control in the region. The surviving earthwork remains of both the fort structures and road sections provide evidence of Roman engineering practices and the scale of military organisation required to maintain the frontier zone in northern Britain.
