City wall, NE side is a section of the medieval defensive fortification that formed part of Carlisle's urban enclosure. The wall dates from the 12th and 13th centuries, constructed to protect the developing castle town as it expanded beyond the Norman fortress. This particular section on the north-east side represents substantial surviving masonry of the medieval period and remains an important archaeological and architectural record of Carlisle's medieval defences. The wall forms part of the wider circuit of fortifications that once surrounded the city and contributes to understanding medieval urban development in the north of England.
