Alauna ( Maryport ) Alauna ( denoted for academic convenience as " Alauna Carvetiorum " , Alauna of the Carvetii , to distinguish it from other places with the same name ) , was a fort in the Roman province of Britannia . Today it is known as Maryport in the English county of Cumbria ( formerly part of Cumberland ) . Character . The fort was first established in around AD 122 as a command and supply base for the coastal defences of Hadrian ' s Wall at its western extremity . There are substantial remains of the Roman fort , which was one of a series of forts from Hadrian ' s Wall , intended to prevent the wall being outflanked by crossing the Solway Firth . Recent geo - magnetic surveys have revealed a large Roman town surrounding the fort . A recent archaeological dig discovered evidence of a second , earlier and larger fort next to , and partially under the present remains . Geophysical survey . TimeScape Surveys ( Biggins & Taylor ) , supported by a grant from the Maryport Heritage Trust , conducted a magnetometry geophysical survey of the Roman fort , " vicus " and their environs at Maryport . In addition , some targeted areas of resistivity survey were completed . The survey was conducted between May 2000 and September 2003 in several phases on land at Camp Farm , Maryport . At 72 . 5 hectares ( 170 acres ) , this represents the largest geophysical survey carried out on the northern Roman Frontier . The survey has revealed multi - period activity , together with the possible location of a Roman port or causeway . The fort , as expected , had been robbed of stone to build the later town of Maryport . The " vicus " ( civilian settlement ) on the other hand was remarkably well - preserved , with a substantial road leading to a suspected Roman entrepôt . The field system surrounding the vicus was extensive and showed small ' market garden ' plots , some containing buildings . In addition the survey detected a suspected Iron Age enclosure and elements of medieval buildings . Remains . The Roman Museum at Maryport houses numerous Roman artefacts ; most notably a series of altars to Jupiter Optimus Maximus which were excavated in the 18th century from the parade ground of the Roman fort . Shortly before 1587 an altar , dated to the 2nd or 3rd century , was found in the north - west corner of the fort , where it had probably been re - used in a late - Roman building . The inscription showed that it had been dedicated to Gaius Cornelius Peregrinus , a " decurion " ( town councillor ) from " Saldae " ( present - day Bejaia in Algeria ) , who was " tribunus " ( military commander ) of the auxiliary garrison at the fort ( source ) . The altar is now in the British Museum .
Richard Henry Burton Richard Henry Burton VC ( 29 January 1923 – 11 July 1993 ) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross , the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces . Details . Burton was 21 years old and a private in the 1st Battalion , The Duke of Wellington ' s ( West Riding ) Regiment , British Army , during the Second World War when the following deed took place . It was for this that he was awarded the Victoria Cross . The Citation reads : " On 8 October 1944 at Monte Ceco , Italy , on 8th October , 1944 , two Companies of the Duke of Wellington ' s Regiment moved forward to take a strongly held feature 760 metres high . The capture of this feature was vital at this stage of the operation as it dominated all the ground on the main axis of advance . < br > The assaulting troops made good progress to within twenty yards of the crest when they came under withering fire from Spandaus on the crest . The leading platoon was held up and the Platoon Commander was wounded . The Company Commander took another platoon , of which Private Burton was runner , through to assault the crest from which four Spandaus at least were firing . Private Burton rushed forward and , engaging the first Spandau position with his Tommy gun , killed the crew of three . When the assault was again held up by murderous fire from two more machine guns Private Burton , again showing complete disregard for his own safety , dashed forward toward the first machine gun using his Tommy gun until his ammunition was exhausted . He then picked up a Bren gun and firing from the hip succeeded in killing or wounding the crews of the two machine guns . Thanks to his outstanding courage the Company was then able to consolidate on the forward slope of the feature . < br > The enemy immediately counter - attacked fiercely but Private Burton , in spite of most of his comrades being either dead or wounded , once again dashed forward on his own initiative and directed such accurate fire with his Bren gun on the enemy that they retired leaving the feature firmly in our hands . < br > < br > The enemy later counter - attacked again on the adjoining platoon position and Private Burton , who had placed himself on the flank , brought such accurate fire to bear that this counterattack also failed to dislodge the Company from its position . Private Burton ' s magnificent gallantry and total disregard of his own safety during many hours of fierce fighting in mud , and continuous rain were an inspiration to all his comrades . Further information . Burton was born in Melton Mowbray , Leicestershire where he worked as a bricklayer . He moved to Scotland in later life . He achieved the rank of corporal . The medal . The medal is on display in the Lord Ashcroft Gallery , Imperial War Museum , London .
