The fort is about eight miles west of the fort of Castlesteads (Camboglanna) and five and a half miles east of Burgh by Sands (Aballava).
'Congavata ' was the name of the Roman fort at what became Drumburgh-by Sands; however, it was Petriana that gave rise to the name of Stanwix.

Aballava or Aballaba (with the modern name of Burgh by Sands) was a Roman fort on Hadrian's Wall, between Petriana (Stanwix) to the east and Coggabata (Drumburgh) to the west.
