In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Drumburgh like this:
DRUMBURGH, a township in Bowness parish, Cumberland; on the Solway frith and the Carlisle and Silloth railway, 8½ miles WNW of Carlisle. It has a station on the railway. Real property, £3, 423. Pop., 421. Houses, 94. The Roman station Gabrosentum, on the Roman wall, was here; and a seat of the Dacres, called Drumburgh Castle, occupies the site of the station, and was built out of the ruins of its masonry.
