In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Castlesteads like this:
CASTLESTEADS, or Cambeck-Fort, the Roman station Petriani, on the Wall, near Brampton, in Cumberland. It measures 450 feet by 300; has yielded altars, inscriptions, coins, and other relics; and gives name to an adjacent mansion, formerly the seat of the Dacres.
