It is preserved in the name of St&nbsp;Matthew's Church, Campfield, and Campfield Market. ([[Manchester]] also derived its name from the fort.)<ref>{{Harvnb|Mills|1998|p=232}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://kepn.nottingham.ac.uk/map/place/Lancashire/Manchester |title= Manchester |publisher=Government of the United Kingdom |access-date=20 February 2015}}</ref>

An older name for the settlement was the [[Old English]] Aldport, meaning old or long used port,<ref name="Mills 1998 405">{{Harvnb|Mills|1998|p=405}}</ref> distinguishing it from the new port at medieval Manchester nearer the confluence of the [[River Irk|Rivers Irk]] and [[River Irwell|Irwell]].
