Tour Scotland photograph of Hadrian's Wall, a civilian gate at Housesteads Fort, Northumbria, England. Housesteads Roman Fort is the remains of an auxiliary fort on Hadrian's Wall. Its ruins are located at Housesteads in the civil parish of Bardon Mill in Northumberland, England, south of Broomlee Lough. The fort was built in stone around AD 124, soon after the construction of the wall began in AD 122 when the area was part of the Roman province of Britannia. Its name has been variously given as Vercovicium, Borcovicus, Borcovicium, and Velurtion. The name of the 18th century farmhouse Housesteads is the modern name.
