Eight Roman inscriptions in the Roman quarry in Combcrag Wood is a collection of stone carvings located 350 metres south of Hadrian's Wall in Cumberland. The inscriptions, which date to the Roman period, are carved into stone within a quarry that supplied material for the construction and maintenance of the Wall itself. These epigraphic remains represent evidence of Roman quarrying operations and the labour involved in extracting stone for the Wall's infrastructure. The survival of these inscriptions in situ provides archaeological testimony to Roman activity in the region and the working practices of quarrymen associated with Hadrian's Wall's construction and upkeep.
