Hadrian's Wall is a Roman frontier fortification built in the second century AD under the emperor Hadrian, extending approximately seventy-three miles across northern Britain from the Solway Firth to the Tyne estuary. This section, spanning wall miles 34, 35 and 36 in Northumberland, preserves substantial remains of the linear barrier together with associated military installations including milecastle 36 and turret 34a, which served as observation and control points along the frontier. The wall itself consists of a stone-built superstructure founded upon a substantial clay and stone base, with a wide ditch running to the north, representing one of the most ambitious engineering projects undertaken by the Roman military in Britain. This particular stretch demonstrates the wall's strategic importance in regulating movement across the frontier and maintaining Roman military presence in the border region during the second and third centuries AD.
Hadrian's Wall and associated features between the boundary east of turret 34a and the field boundary west of milecastle 36 in wall miles 34, 35 and 36 is a scheduled monument protected by Historic England under reference 1010964. View the official record →
