Hadrian's Wall and vallum from East Town House, Heddon-on-the-Wall to the A69 trunk road is a scheduled ancient monument comprising a substantial stretch of the Roman frontier fortification constructed in the second century AD under the Emperor Hadrian. This section, located in wall mile 12 of the frontier system, preserves visible remains of both the wall itself and the vallum, the substantial earthwork that runs parallel to the south of the wall and formed an integral part of the defensive and administrative infrastructure. The monument represents important evidence for the construction, maintenance, and landscape impact of Rome's most northerly frontier in Britain, established around AD 122 and occupied for approximately two and a half centuries. The surviving archaeological features at this location contribute significantly to understanding the physical character and engineering of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
