Piercebridge Roman Fort

Piercebridge Roman Fort is a scheduled ancient monument in the village of Piercebridge on the River Tees in County Durham, England. Established around AD 70, the fort was occupied until at least the early 5th century, making it one of the longest-lasting Roman sites in northern Britain. The fort had an extensive civilian settlement (vicus) and bath house on the north bank, with another vicus and villa complex at Cliffe on the south bank. Roman stonework from the site was repurposed by Victorians in the 19th century to build St Mary's church at Gainford. Part of the fort lies beneath Piercebridge village green. [1]
