Info It has been supposed that Isurium was originally the site of a 1st century Roman fort at the crossing of Dere Street (the Roman road running north out of Eboracum) over the River Ure.
Excavation
published 1993
A single tile find marked by the Ninth Legion might suggest it was their base. However, excavations in 1993 located two successive forts at adjoining Boroughbridge, so 1st century finds at modern Aldborough may come from a related civilian site.
