Aldborough is a village 7 miles (11 km) in the civil parish of Boroughbridge, to the north-east of Knaresborough, in North Yorkshire, England.^[1]

Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Aldborough was built on the site of a major Romano-British town, Isurium Brigantum. The Brigantes, the most populous Celtic tribe in the area at the time of the Roman occupation of Britain, used the settlement as a capital.^[2] Isurium may also have been the base of the Roman Legio VIIII Hispana.
