Alavana

Alavana was a name tentatively (and probably wrongly) applied to the ruins of a Roman fort [1] at Watercrook about 2 mi (3.2 km) south of Kendal in Cumbria, for which the Roman name Medibogdo [2] is a perfect fit to its river-bend position.

The fort at Watercrook was erected around AD 90, originally in timber but then rebuilt in stone around the year 130 during the reign of Hadrian.

It was refurbished under Marcus Aurelius and occupied until around 270, when its military units departed.

[3] Its remains are now largely buried beneath a local farm, while excavated artifacts are displayed at the Kendal Museum.
