Hadrian's Wall between Fence Burn and the track to Portgate Cottage in wall miles 21 and 22 is a Roman frontier installation built during the reign of Emperor Hadrian in the second century AD. The monument comprises sections of the stone wall and its associated vallum, the earthwork ditch and banks that ran parallel to the wall along much of its length. This stretch lies within the central sector of the wall where stone construction predominates, forming part of the extensive defensive and administrative system that ran across northern Britain from the Solway Firth to the Tyne. The site preserves important archaeological and structural evidence of Roman military engineering and the wall's sustained presence across the Northumberland landscape.
