An Entity of Type: military structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Aballava or Aballaba (with the modern name of Burgh by Sands) was a Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall, between Petriana (Stanwix) to the east and Coggabata (Drumburgh) to the west. It is about one and a half miles south of the Solway Firth, and its purpose was to guard the south end of two important Solway fords, the Peat Wath and the Sandwath, which were also to become favourite routes for medieval border raiders. There was a vicus to the south-west of the fort, and it is believed that a cemetery existed to the south of the fort.

  • Aballava nebo Aballaba (vesnice na tomto místě nese moderní název Burgh by Sands) byla římská pevnost na Hadriánově valu. Ležela mezi pevností Petriana (Stanwix) na východě a Coggabata (jejíž moderní název zní Drumburgh) na západě. Pevnost měla chránit jižní konec dvou důležitých brodů, Peat Wath a Sandwath, které o staletí později hojně používali středověcí pohraniční nájezdníci.

  • Aballava or Aballaba (with the modern name of Burgh by Sands) was a Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall, between Petriana (Stanwix) to the east and Coggabata (Drumburgh) to the west. It is about one and a half miles south of the Solway Firth, and its purpose was to guard the south end of two important Solway fords, the Peat Wath and the Sandwath, which were also to become favourite routes for medieval border raiders. The fort is five and a half miles west of Stanwix. The word 'Aballava' possibly means '(apple) orchard'.The fort was an oblong, straddling the Wall, and measured 500 feet (150 m) north to south by 400 feet (120 m) east to west, occupying an area of 5 acres (20,000 m2). Only the location of the eastern wall is known for certain. It is believed that it was built over the site of turret 71b. There is a fortified border church on the site built almost entirely of Roman stones, and it is believed that this stands on the site of the principia of the fort. There was a vicus to the south-west of the fort, and it is believed that a cemetery existed to the south of the fort. (en)
  • Aballava war ein römisches Hilfstruppenkastell. Es befindet sich nahe dem Solway Firth, in Burgh by Sands, einer Gemeinde (Parish) im District Carlisle, County Cumbria, England. Das Wallkastell entstand im 2. Jahrhundert n. Chr., gehörte zu der aus insgesamt 16 Kastellen bestehenden Festungskette des Hadrianswalls (per lineam valli) und sicherte dessen westlichen Sektor. Es dürfte bis ins 4. Jahrhundert von römischen Truppen besetzt gewesen sein. In seiner näheren Umgebung standen noch zwei Holz-Erde-Kastelle und einige nur kurzzeitig genutzte Marschlager. Außerhalb des Wallkastells konnte eine Zivilsiedlung (Vicus) nachgewiesen werden. Das Bodendenkmal umfasst die Reste der Wallanlagen im Abschnitt zwischen der Westseite des Kirchhofs der St. Mary’s Kirche in Beaumont im Osten und Burgh Head im Westen, die drei Kastelle in Burgh by Sands und die temporären Marschlager bei Beaumont und Grinsdale.

  • Aballava («frutteto») o Aballaba è stato un castrum romano situato sul Vallo di Adriano, tra Petriana ad est e Coggabata a ovest, corrispondente alla moderna Burgh by Sands. Collocato a circa nove chilometri a occidente di Stanwix e due a sud dell'estuario del Solway, la sua funzione era di sorvegliare il lato meridionale di due guadi del Solway, Peat Wath e Sandwath, punti di accesso favorevoli agli incursori.
