The sections located between Sharpe Road and The Avenue in wall mile 0 represent stretches of the original stone wall that formed part of this vast linear fortification extending across northern Britain. These particular segments preserve evidence of the wall's substantial masonry construction and remain archaeologically significant as part of the broader defensive system. The wall mile designation reflects the Roman measurement system used to organise the wall's length and logistics during its construction and operation as a military frontier.
