Hadrian's Wall and vallum in wall mile 9, Blucher to Dene House, is a scheduled ancient monument comprising a section of the Roman frontier barrier constructed during the second century AD. This stretch of wall, which formed part of Emperor Hadrian's defensive system across northern Britain, retains visible remains of both the stone wall itself and the substantial earthwork ditch known as the vallum that ran parallel to it to the south. The monument dates to the Hadrianic period, specifically its construction phase in the 120s AD and subsequent use through the Roman occupation of Britain. This section preserves important evidence of the wall's original construction and the integrated defensive system that characterised this UNESCO World Heritage monument.
