DRUMBURGH, a township in the parish of BOWNESS,
ward and county of CUMBERLAND, 9 miles (W.
by N.) from Carlisle, containing 418 inhabitants. Here
was formerly a chapel, but it has been- demolished. This
was the station Gabrosentum, garrisoned by the Cohors
Secunda Thracum; the ramparts are: still very higk
and the deep ditch encloses an area of about one hun-
dred and ten yards square, which has been converted
into a garden to Drumburgh castle, built out of the
ruins of the fort, and with part of the remains of
Adrian's wall, which terminated a little to the westward.
Two draw-wells, cased with fine ashlar work, were discovered
about 1780.
