A Roman cemetery at Brougham

At the beginning of this year Archaeology News reported on the excavation of a sizeable Roman cemetery at Brougham. Situated some miles south of Carlisle in the historic county of Westmoreland Brougham has both the site of a Roman camp, and a splendid, if ruined, medieval castle. It is well worth a visit.  

 

There is a detailed account of the history of the site from Roman times onwards on Wikipedia at Brougham_Castle
