Hadrian's Wall and vallum from East Town House, Heddon-on-the-Wall to the A69 trunk road in wall mile 12 is a designated segment of the Roman frontier fortification constructed in the 2nd century AD under the Emperor Hadrian. This section preserves elements of both the wall itself and the associated vallum, the substantial earthwork that runs to the south of the barrier and formed an integral component of the military installation's defensive and administrative infrastructure. The surviving remains within this scheduled monument stretch span approximately two miles across the Northumberland landscape, retaining sufficient archaeological integrity to demonstrate the scale and engineering of the Roman military enterprise along Britain's northern frontier. The monument represents a critical portion of the wall's eastern sector, where preservation conditions have allowed substantial portions of the turf-built wall structure and the vallum's characteristic twin banks and central ditch to remain visible and archaeologically significant.
