About
Carrawburgh Roman Fort housed around 500 soldiers on Hadrian's Wall, with units drawn from what are now France and Belgium. Below the fort lies a temple dedicated to Mithras, a god whose worship attracted Roman soldiers and whose sacred story centred on the killing of a bull. Built around AD 200, the small temple gives an unusually direct glimpse of religious life on the frontier. Its stone remains sit in a field beneath the raised fort platform, so take time to distinguish the two parts of the site. Reviewers find the temple atmospheric and advise following the route down rather than stopping at the first ruins. Access from the nearby national park car park crosses uneven, sometimes muddy ground, and flooding is possible after rain. The approach is unsuitable for wheelchairs and buggies.
