In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Castlesteads like this:
CASTLESTEADS, or Cambeck-Fort, the Roman station Petriani, on the Wall, near Brampton, in Cumberland. It measures 450 feet by 300; has yielded altars, inscriptions, coins, and other relics; and gives name to an adjacent mansion, formerly the seat of the Dacres.
Castlesteads is now part of CUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how CUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Castlesteads itself, go to Statistics.
