|  | Gentleman's Magazine 1907 part 1 p.177 definitely nothing save that they were Romans: of its  
subsequent history we know nothing. It was just a hill  
station, a fort - probably one of a chain - guarding an  
important highway. With that we must rest content; but in  
imagination, sitting up there, we may picture many
 
 
    
 things, trying to piece together its history. At present it  
is undisturbed. Doubtless in future times a railway will run 
to Keswick and Ambleside by way of Hardknott, and the ghosts 
of the Roman sentries will marvel as they pace outside the  
overthrown gates. But in our day it is a place of peace, a  
spot to wonder over and to think upon, a piece of Forgotten  
History.
