Hadrian's Wall and vallum between the field boundary west of Carvoran Roman fort and the west side of the B6318 road in wall mile 46 is a section of the second-century frontier defence system constructed under the Emperor Hadrian. This portion of the wall, together with its associated vallum or ditch system, dates from the early second century AD and formed part of the continuous linear barrier stretching across northern Britain. The site preserves evidence of the wall's stone construction and the parallel earthwork of the vallum, which lay some distance to the south of the wall itself and served a distinct administrative or military function within the frontier zone. This stretch of the wall lies adjacent to Carvoran Roman fort, a significant auxiliary installation that controlled this section of the frontier and would have housed troops garrisoned to maintain the wall and patrol the surrounding territory.
