		Lagentium or Legiolum was the Roman name for the strategic fort which was built around the year 74 by the Roman Empire.
		Lagentium, along with what is now Littleborough, Bawtry, Tadcaster and Doncaster, was one of these forts.
		Around 410 Lagentium was abandoned, as the Roman Empire withdrew its legions.

		The Roman fort of Lagentium underlies the modern town centre of Castleford in West Yorkshire.
		The fort was situated on the south bank of the River Aire, just downstream of its confluence with the River Calder, at the point where the stream was forded by the main Roman road running between the Colonies at Lindum (Lincoln, Lincolnshire) and Eburacum (York, Yorkshire).
		There are only five inscriptions on stone recorded at Lagentium, three of which are milestones (vide infra), the remaining two both altarstones.

		Holmfield Interchange and Stranglands Lane – there is good progress on this section, the deck concrete has been placed and parapets are being erected to programme.
		Lagentium Bridge (over the river at Fairburn) – deck concrete complete with access over for construction traffic and hauling material (pfa) from the lagoon site to the new embankment.
		The Landscape/gateway feature at Holmfield Interchange was a design competition, which received nine entries returned in early February 2005 – The winning entry is a replica of the Ferrybridge Henge called ‘The Barrows’.

	Castleford Webpages - Welcome to Castleford
		Recently the skeleton of a bronze age lord together with the remains of his chariot were discovered in Castleford's Fryston woodland.
		The Roman fort of Lagentium, situated within what is now the town centre, has revealed so many important finds that there is now an active campaign to build a Heritage Centre within Castleford town centre.
		Castleford has a population aged 15 plus of 36953 in 19675 households.

	Five Towns?
		The sweet smell from the factory wafts over the town centre when the wind is right.
		Castleford was once a Roman settlement called Lagentium.
		A Roman road, straight as a die, still runs through it—now unglamorously called the A656.

		One of the 'Five Towns' which together with Wakefield make up the metropolitan District of Wakefield, Castleford has a character individual and distinct from its neighbours.
		Originally a Roman settlement dating from about 71AD called Legiolium or Lagentium, its historical connections recently merited a visit from TV's 'Time Team'.
		Local people have formed 'Castleford Heritage Group' to preserve its history, work towards gathering money and supporting a new museum, and possibly a new library.

	Town (The Romans)
		However, no written descriptions of the towns themselves survive.
		In West Yorkshire towns tended to grow up around Roman forts and so we have Castleford (Lagentium or Legeolium, depending on which source is consulted), Ilkley (traditionally associated with the name Olicana, but modern research has suggested the name Verbeia as a possibility), Adel on the outskirts of Leeds and Slack near Huddersfield.
		Another settlement in the area which is now occupied by central Leeds seems likely: this may be the town referred to by classical writers as Cambodunum.

	Touring Elmet
		What it must have been like during those centuries of Roman administration only the wildest imagination can picture.
		Heading from here to the south via Castleford (Lagentium) came the great artery from London (Londinium) and the continent, the roadway we have encountered many times so far.
		Sweeping in from the west was a road bringing traffic from the legions' retirement park at Adel and Ilkley (Olicana) beyond, travelling through present-day Thorner.
