Maiden Way

The Maiden Way or Maidenway (Middle English: Maydengathe; Medieval Latin: Via Puellarum) was a roughly 20-mile (32 km) Roman road in northern Britain connecting Bravoniacum (Kirkby Thore) with Magnae (Carvoran). It was sometimes considered to have run east along Stanegate to Banna, then 7 miles (11 km) north to the Shrine of Cocidius (Bewcastle), and thence to Liddesdale but the identity of this course as a single road is problematic.

In 2016 it was reported that LIDAR technology had revealed a continuation of the Maiden Way southwards from Kirkby Thore to the Roman fort at Low Borrowbridge near Tebay.

Bravoniacum was a waypoint on the northern leg of the Roman-era Watling Street connecting Luguvalium (Carlisle) with Eboracum (York) and points south. Magnae was one of the waypoints on the Stanegate beside Hadrian's Wall. As such, the Maiden Way served as a shortcut for supplying the central and eastern areas of the Wall. It also provided supplies to the lead and silver mines near Epiacum (Whitley Castle).
