The Roman Cemetery at Brougham, Cumbria: Excavations 1966-67

The Ministry of Public Buildings and Works carried out excavations at the Roman cemetery east of the fort and vicus of Brougham, Cumbria in 1966 and 1967 in advance of road building work. A third century cremation burial cemetery was uncovered which reamins the largest area of a cemetery ever to have been dug in the Roman North and yielded a range of finds considered to be a resource of national importance. During 2000 to 2002 English Heritage funded Barbican Research Associates to analyse the archive. The database resulting from this analysis may be downloaded from AHDS Archaeology.
