In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Birdoswald like this:
BURDOSWALD, a locality in Lanercost parish, Cumberland; on the Roman wall, 4½ miles NE by E of Brampton. The Roman station Amboglanna was here; and many Roman inscriptions have been found.
Birdoswald is now part of CUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how CUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Birdoswald itself, go to Statistics.
