Hadrian's Wall is a Roman frontier fortification begun under the Emperor Hadrian in AD 122, extending across northern Britain from the Solway Firth to the Tyne. The section from Throckley to East Town House at Heddon-on-the-Wall, encompassing wall mile 11, preserves substantial remains of both the wall itself and the vallum, a defensive earthwork consisting of a ditch with flanking banks that ran parallel to the wall on its southern side. In this locality the wall survives as a stone structure varying in height and condition, whilst the vallum remains visible as an earthwork feature that once formed part of the integrated defensive system controlling movement across the frontier. This stretch of Northumberland coastland represents a significant surviving example of the wall's construction methods and the broader logistical infrastructure that supported the military garrison along this critical Roman border during the second and third centuries AD.
