Overview

History & significance

Hadrian's Wall in wall mile 10 between Dene House and Throckley Bank Top is a section of the Roman frontier defence system constructed in the second century AD under the Emperor Hadrian. The monument comprises the stone wall itself together with the vallum, the earthwork consisting of a ditch flanked by two mounds that runs parallel to the wall on its southern side. This section of the wall and vallum represents the physical infrastructure of Rome's northernmost British frontier, which was maintained and garrisoned throughout the Roman occupation. The remains in this wall mile preserve evidence of the wall's original construction and the accompanying military works that controlled movement across the frontier between Roman and unconquered Britain.
