What is recorded here

Whitley Castle Roman fort and vicus, 280m south west of Castle Nook is a first and second century AD military installation on the Stanegate road in Northumberland, preserving exceptional defensive earthworks and a civilian settlement that sustained the garrison. Known as Coria during the Roman period, the hillside position controlled movement across the Pennines and remains one of the most substantially preserved forts of its type on that frontier route.

The National Heritage List for England records Whitley Castle Roman fort and vicus, 280m south west of Castle Nook 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.

Whitley Castle Roman fort and vicus was built by the Romans, likely during the 2nd century AD, as part of the Stanegate frontier system. It is important as a well-preserved example of a Roman military and civilian settlement in northern England.
