Hadrian's Wall between March Burn and Oatens Bank, Harlow Hill in wall miles 13, 14 and 15 is a section of the frontier barrier constructed under the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the second century AD. This stretch of the wall preserves significant remains of both the stone wall itself and the vallum, the defensive ditch-and-bank earthwork that ran parallel to the wall on its southern side. The site demonstrates the characteristic Roman military engineering of the period, with the wall constructed from locally quarried stone and the vallum representing a considerable earthmoving enterprise undertaken across the entire seventy-three-mile length of the frontier. This section lies within the central portion of the wall's course across northern England and retains archaeological and topographical evidence of the Roman occupation and management of this strategically important border zone.
