Milefortlet 5
Milefortlet 5 (Cardurnock) was a Milefortlet of the Roman Cumbrian Coast defences. These milefortlets and intervening stone watchtowers extended from the western end of Hadrian's Wall, along the Cumbrian coast and were linked by a wooden palisade. They were contemporary with defensive structures on Hadrian's Wall. The remains of Milefortlet 5 was excavated in 1943-4 prior to its destruction in 1944.
==Description==
Milefortlet 5 was situated in a field just south of the hamlet of Cardurnock in the civil parish of Bowness. The site lies within a disused wartime airfield, now under pasture. There is nothing to see on the ground, but aerial photographs taken in 2006 show the cropmarks of the northern end of the milefortlet.〔
The coastline to the south is interrupted by Moricambe Bay, and the next known fort is Milefortlet 9. Milefortlets 6, 7 and 8 were once thought to have been eroded by Moricambe, but there is in fact no evidence that the sites ever existed,〔David Colin Arthur Shotter, (1995), ''The Roman frontier in Britain: Hadrian's Wall, the Antonine Wall, and Roman policy in the north''. page 73. Carnegie Pub.〕 and the system is believed to begin again with Milefortlet 9.〔John Collingwood Bruce, Charles Daniels (1978), ''Handbook to the Roman Wall, with the Cumbrian coast and outpost forts'', page 34.
