In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Carraw like this:
CARROW, a hamlet in Warden parish, Northumberland; on the Roman wall, 4¾ miles N of Haydon-Bridge. Carrowburgh here was the Procolitia on the Wall, where the Batavian cohort was stationed; and two Roman altars have been found.
Carraw is now part of NORTHUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTHUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Carraw itself, go to Statistics.
