Milefortlet 9
Milefortlet 9 (Skinburness) 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. There is little to see on the ground but Milefortlet 9 has been located on aerial photographs.
==Description==
Milefortlet 9 is situated in a field northeast of the village of Skinburness, in the civil parish of Silloth. The outline of the milefortlet was seen on aerial photographs in 1949.〔 These show that the fortlet has external dimensions of approximately 65 metres by 61 metres with traces of a possible outer ditch.〔 Various pits, ditches and maculae are visible close to this fortlet as cropmarks on air photographs, but it is not clear if any relate to it. A portion of an inscribed Roman altar, dedicated to the Matres was found in the summer of 1866 lying on the seashore close to this site, and is now in the British Museum.
The coastline to the north is interrupted by Moricambe Bay, and the next known fort is Milefortlet 5. Milefortlets 8, 7 and 6 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 to the north is believed to begin again with Milefortlet 5.〔John Collingwood Bruce, Charles Daniels (1978), ''Handbook to the Roman Wall, with the Cumbrian coast and outpost forts'', page 34.
