What is recorded here
Walls Castle in Cumberland is a scheduled monument, though the name Walls Castle still belongs to the Roman bath-house at Ravenglass. The formal record protects the place, while the local name preserves the shape of the building in memory. One is a legal boundary, the other a human image, and both point to the same lost structure.
The National Heritage List for England records Ravenglass Roman fort bath-house, also known as Walls Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Ravenglass Roman fort bath-house, also known as Walls Castle, was built by the Romans during the 2nd century AD as part of the fort at Ravenglass on the Cumbrian coast. It is important as one of the few surviving Roman bath-houses in Britain and provides insight into military and civilian life in Roman Cumbria.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
