The Roman Map of Britain Coggabata Drumburgh or unknown fort on southern Burgh Marsh, Cumbria
Congavata
(ND XL48)
COGGABATA
(Moorlands patera)
[My original
interpretation as Longavada, which in light of the Moorlands patera
discovery, I must partially abandon.
For the river-name Long-
see Maio Old Carlisle. The Latin
vada 'fords' survived as a back-formation in the river-name Wampool
poll' Wašoen ca. 1060.
The amended Concavata has been assigned to Drumburgh for no better reason than
Drumburgh's proper Roman name Mais was
assigned to Bowness-on-Solway by Richmond - on questionable grounds.]
With the discovery of the Moorlands patera, Coggabata seems injected into the series along the Wall. But further investigation leaves the consideration of the Wall as a continuous fortification across Burgh Marsh in question. This leaves open the possibility of a fort on the southern shore, which would be Coggabata. I'm not being difficult, I'd just like to see it right.
