Hadrian's Wall and vallum between Baron's Dike and Birky Lane at Walby is a section of the Roman frontier fortification erected in the second century AD under the emperor Hadrian. This stretch, encompassing wall miles 60, 61 and 62 in the vicinity of Walby in Cumberland, preserves significant remains of both the wall itself and the vallum, the substantial linear earthwork that runs parallel to the northern face of the wall across much of its length. The vallum, comprising a central ditch flanked by outer banks, served logistical and administrative functions in demarcating and controlling access to the military zone behind the frontier. This particular section represents the wall's course across the Cumbrian landscape and contributes to the understanding of Hadrian's Wall as one of the most substantial Roman military constructions in Britain, maintained and garrisoned throughout the second and third centuries AD.
