Hadrian's Wall between Fulwood House at Burgh by Sands and Burgh Marsh is a section of the Roman frontier barrier constructed in the 2nd century AD under the emperor Hadrian. This portion of the wall, located in wall miles 72 and 73 in Cumberland, represents the western approaches of the wall as it nears the Solway Firth. The surviving remains in this area consist of fragmentary sections of the stone structure, typical of the wall's condition in the Solway marshlands where post-Roman subsidence and agricultural activity have significantly affected preservation. This section forms part of one of the Roman Empire's most substantial military monuments, extending approximately 73 miles across northern Britain from the North Sea to the Irish Sea.
