Hadrian's Wall ditch west of Walwick Hadrian's wall or 'Vallum Aelium' is the remains of a large Roman fortification. The wall extended west from Segedunum at Wallsend on the River Tyne to the shore of the Solway Firth, ending a short but unknown distance west of the village of Bowness-on-Solway. Construction probably started sometime in AD 122 and was largely completed within six years. The remains were made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

Field crossed by ditch The field of rough grazing is crossed by the ditch which ran on the northern side of Hadrian's Wall. There's a disturbance to the flat surface of the grass which is probably that feature. The stones of the wall itself have been removed: those which remained at the time were used in the 18th. century as material for the construction of a 'Military Road', now the B6318!

On top of the wall The route of Hadrian's Wall heading east-south-east, passing the trig point at Limestone Bank. The disturbed ground shows the actual line. The wall's stone here had of course been 'robbed' and used as material in the construction of the B6318 'Military Road' in the mid-eighteenth century; the road lies to the right in the image.
