Carlisle Rural Masterplanning Settlement
Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning BURGH BY SANDS BURGH BY SANDS Figure 1: Location of Burgh by Sands January 2013 Page 1 Carlisle District: Rural Masterplanning BURGH BY SANDS Settlement Profile: Strategic position Historically, Burgh by Sands has occupied a very important strategic location. Roman military encampments were placed at this strategic location on Hadrian‟s Wall round Burgh by Sands to guard two nearby Solway becks. There are also two earlier auxiliary forts and a number of marching camps. The heritage value of the settlement continues from the visitor perspective. Burgh by Sands is a linear settlement, just over 6 miles west of Carlisle that extends along a minor road that continues round the coast of the Solway Firth. The settlement centre is at the cross-roads junction with a minor north-south road. To the north, the road heads towards the River Eden and loops round south again to Beaumont, but there is no crossing of the River Eden to head north without returning via Carlisle city centre bridge. Burgh by Sands‟ position on a minor road to the coast means it does not play a strategic role in the area. The settlement does however now play an important role locally with the primary school covering a wide area of neighboring parishes. The Church, pub and local garage are also locally significant. The Cumbrian Coastal Way and the Hadrian‟s Wall National Trail pass right through the centre of the village along the main east-west street. The Hadrian‟s Wall World Heritage Site and Vallum pass through the settlement.

Cumbria Classified Roads
Cumbria Classified (A,B & C) Roads - Published January 2021 • The list has been prepared using the available information from records compiled by the County Council and is correct to the best of our knowledge. It does not, however, constitute a definitive statement as to the status of any particular highway. • This is not a comprehensive list of the entire highway network in Cumbria although the majority of streets are included for information purposes. • The extent of the highway maintainable at public expense is not available on the list and can only be determined through the search process. • The List of Streets is a live record and is constantly being amended and updated. We update and republish it every 3 months. • Like many rural authorities, where some highways have no name at all, we usually record our information using a road numbering reference system. Street descriptors will be added to the list during the updating process along with any other missing information. • The list does not contain Recorded Public Rights of Way as shown on Cumbria County Council’s 1976 Definitive Map, nor does it contain streets that are privately maintained. • The list is property of Cumbria County Council and is only available to the public for viewing purposes and must not be copied or distributed.

Bowness on Solway to Drumburgh Management Area Summary 2015 Allerdale Borough Council Coastal Engineering UK Ltd 1 Baseline
Bowness on Solway to Drumburgh Management Area Summary 2015 Allerdale Borough Council BOWNESS ON SOLWAY TO DRUMBURGH Baseline Information Start co-ordinate: 321676, 562612 Finish co-ordinate: 327936, 560460 Total length: 7.6km Defended length: 1.6km Sea Wall: 1.6km Saltmarsh: 6.0km Environmental designations: Monitoring carried out: SSSI 8 beach profiles SAC Coastal defence inspection (Bowness on Solway) SPA Ramsar AONB Site overview: The section from Bowness on Solway to the boundary between Allerdale Borough Council boundary and Carlisle City Council, at Drumburgh is influenced by the position of the River Eden channel. Following removal of the Solway viaduct in the 1930s the channel returned to its previously unrestrained state and moved across the Firth to the northern side between Bowness and Port Carlisle, where its location is held away from the shoreline by the promontory of Kirkland Scar. Further upstream the channel moves to the south opposite Glasson. Upstream from Glasson extensive areas of saltmarsh (Easton Marsh and Burgh Marsh) have developed. The Eden channel runs along the edge of Easton Marsh, which is consequently susceptible to erosion. Most of this section is undefended and consists of natural saltmarsh. Between Bowness on Solway and Grey Havens the coastline is defended by sections of blockwork wall and/or concrete walls with sloping concrete revetments added in places, which provide protection to the edge of the public highway.

It includes the dynamic inner section of the Solway Firth and its confluence with the rivers Eden, Esk and Sark. Site overview: The Solway Firth is a macrotidal funnel shaped, shallow embayment estuary. Shorelines within the estuary are sheltered from wave action and this frontage is characterised by large areas of intertidal saltmarsh, mudflats and sandflats. The channels and banks within the system are highly dynamic, and the position, size and orientation of channels and banks determines the degree to which both the northern and southern shorelines are exposed to currents and play an important role in maintaining the sediment balance within the estuary.

Coin-Loss and the Roman Occupation of North-West England
COIN-LOSS AND THE ROMAN OCCUPATION OF NORTH-WEST ENGLAND DAVID SHOTTER FOR more than half a century the recording and publication of Roman coin-finds in Scotland has provided a body of evidence of immeasurable importance to all who are concerned with the study of the Roman occupation of Scottish sites.1 Elsewhere in Britain, however, whilst such work may have been undertaken with respect to individual sites, it has rarely been published on a regional basis. Over the last two decades an attempt has been made to collect all information on Roman coins found in north-west England - an area covered by the historic counties of Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire.2 The purpose of this compilation has been to maximise the contribution of the coin-evidence to our understanding of the Roman occupation of north-west England through which we may hope to see not just the chronology of occupation of individual sites, but also the nature of that occupation, and look further afield for evidence of the social and economic effects on the region of the concentrations of Romanised activity in the forts and their extra-mural settlements. It is, however, important to recognise the shortcomings in the evidence itself and the difficulties inherent in its interpretation. It is self-evident that we need site-samples which are as large as possible and to achieve this, we must call upon coins found at different times and in a variety of circumstances, and which have been recorded with variable levels of completeness, and even of accuracy. At most sites in north-west England, the number of coins recovered during controlled excavations has been relatively small, although Carlisle, probably the most significant site in the region, is an exception to this, with the majority of its sample of two thousand coins deriving from the work undertaken since the mid-1970s by the city's Archaeological Unit.
