Hadrian's Wall at Throckley to East Town House, Heddon-on-the-Wall, is a section of the second-century Roman frontier fortification constructed under the Emperor Hadrian between approximately 122 and 128 CE. This stretch, situated in wall mile 11, preserves both the stone wall structure and the associated vallum, a substantial earthwork consisting of a central ditch flanked by two parallel mounds that ran south of the wall throughout much of its length. The vallum served as a boundary marker and practical feature defining the military zone of the frontier, though its precise function remains debated among scholars. This section of Hadrian's Wall represents a significant example of Roman military architecture and engineering on the northern frontier of Roman Britain.
