Coria was a fort and town 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of Hadrian's Wall, in the Roman province of Britannia on the junction of a major Roman north–south road (Dere Street) with the River Tyne and another Roman road (Stanegate), which ran east–west between Coria and Luguvalium (the modern Carlisle). Corbridge Roman Site is in the village of Corbridge in the county of Northumberland.
It is in the guardianship of English Heritage and is partially exposed as a visitor attraction, including a site museum.
