Hadrian's Wall is a Roman frontier fortification constructed in the second century AD under the emperor Hadrian, extending approximately 73 miles across northern Britain from the Solway Firth to the Tyne estuary. This section of the wall, located in wall miles 39 to 41 in Northumberland between Steel Rigg car park and Caw Gap, preserves substantial remains of the defensive barrier together with associated Romano-British settlement features. The monument includes the stone wall fabric itself, which in places stands to considerable height, along with evidence of civilian occupation and activity adjacent to the military installation. The site represents a key example of the wall's construction and function during the Roman occupation of Britain, particularly illustrating the relationship between the frontier fortification and the communities that developed in its vicinity.
