Nigrinus may possibly have chosen Brampton as his place of retirement, though it is more likely that he was granted land in the area for his services as imperial procurator, or had some interest in the pottery trade here.
Brampton lies at the eastern end of a known Roman road running east from Durobrivae (Water Newton) towards the Norfolk coast.
Situated about three miles to the south-east of Brampton, the Horstead camp overlooked the Bure from the west, and was probably set to guard a ford across the river.
