Hadrian's Wall is a Roman frontier fortification constructed in the second century AD under the Emperor Hadrian to mark and defend the northwestern boundary of the Roman Empire in Britain. This section, situated in wall miles 62 and 63 near Walby in Cumberland, comprises remains of both the Wall itself and the vallum, the substantial earthwork that runs parallel to the southern side of the Wall. The vallum at this location consists of a ditch with flanking banks, representing one of the most prominent landscape features associated with the frontier. The stretch between Birky Lane and the M6 preserves important evidence of the Wall's construction and the Roman military infrastructure that supported occupation and movement along this critical defensive line during the second and third centuries AD.
Hadrian's Wall and vallum between Birky Lane at Walby and the east side of the M6 in wall miles 62 and 63 is a scheduled monument protected by Historic England under reference 1010980. View the official record →
