119 sites — individual pages for each
Fortlets — smaller than auxiliary forts but larger than milecastles — provided intermediate garrison points across Britain's military landscape. They were particularly common along the Hadrianic and Antonine frontier systems, filling the gaps between major forts and serving as patrol bases, supply points and accommodation for soldiers maintaining the roads and barriers.
All 119 fortlet sites recorded in Britain are listed below, each with its own dedicated page covering historical context, significance, nearby Roman sites, scheduled monuments and Domesday Book cross-references.
