Hadrian's Wall is a stone fortification constructed in the second century AD under the Emperor Hadrian, forming the northern frontier of Roman Britain. Between wall miles 16 and 18 in this section of Northumberland, the monument comprises the wall itself alongside its associated vallum, the substantial earthwork that runs parallel to the south of the structure. This particular stretch preserves significant portions of the wall's stone core and the vallum's characteristic ditch-and-bank configuration, demonstrating the engineering techniques employed across the frontier. The site dates primarily to the second century AD, with maintenance and modification continuing through subsequent centuries of Roman occupation.
