 The fort at Carvoran is generally identified with the 'Magnis' which appears both in the Ravenna Cosmography and the "Notitia Dignitatum".Further evidence for the name comes from a fragmentary inscription (RIB 1825) apparently seen by William Hutchinson in 1766 but which is now lost, which referred to "numerus Magnee(n)s(ium)" ("of the unit of Magn[...] ...").The name could be a Latin nominative form "Magni", or "Magna", and the fort is today sometimes referred to under the name "Magna".
