other stone lions have been found at Corbridge: two were excavated in association with the enclosure wall around a 2nd-century mausoleum at Shorden Brae, in the cemetery just west of the Roman town, one was found built into a wall in the village, and another (now lost) was in a private museum owned by Bartholomew Lumley during the early 19th century.

The Corbridge Lion is now on display in the Corbridge Roman site museum run by English Heritage.
