Hadrian's Wall between the road to Garthside and The Centurion Inn at Walton is a section of the Roman frontier defence system constructed in the second century AD under the emperor Hadrian. This portion of the wall, located in wall miles 54 and 55 in Cumberland, represents the northern boundary of the Roman Empire in Britain and dates from approximately AD 122 onwards. The surviving remains in this locality preserve sections of the original stone-built wall structure, which once extended approximately 80 Roman miles across northern England from the Solway Firth to the River Tyne. The wall served as both a military installation and a controlled crossing point for trade and movement between Roman territory and the unconquered lands to the north.
