Cataractonium
Cataractonium (Grid Ref:SE228228) was a fort and settlement in Roman Britain. The settlement evolved into Catterick, located in North Yorkshire, England.
==Name==
Cataractonium likely took its name form the Latin word ''cataracta'' meaning either "waterfall" or "portcullis". Some linguists have suggested that this was a misinterpretation of an original Brittonic placename meaning "(of ) battle ramparts".〔Rivet & Smith, ( Ed. 1979-1982), Place-Names of Roman Britain〕 The name is attested as ''Cataractonium'' in two 2nd-century Vindolanda tablets. The British section of the 2nd-century Antonine Itinerary mentions Catterick three times, but declines it variously as ''Cataractoni''〔 and ''Cataractone'',〔〔 implying the scribe considered it a 3rd-declension name. It is spelled ''Caturactonium'' (, ''Katouraktónion'') in Ptolemy's ''Geography'' and misspelled ''Cactabactonion'' in the Ravenna Cosmography. The name was spelled ''Cetrecht'', ''Cetrehtan'', and ''Cetrettun'' by Bede in the 7th century and ''Catrice'' in the Domesday Book compiled around 1086.
