Hadrian's Wall in wall mile 2, Walker section is a surviving stretch of the Roman frontier barrier constructed during the reign of Emperor Hadrian in the second century AD. This section, measuring approximately 171 metres in length and situated across Millers Dene playing field near Wallsend in Northumberland, represents part of the consolidated stone wall that was built following initial turf-wall construction. The Walker section retains evidence of the wall's characteristic Roman engineering and forms part of the continuous monument that extends across northern Britain as a defensive and administrative boundary of the Roman Empire. As a scheduled ancient monument and component of the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site, this stretch remains significant to understanding the construction phases and preservation of the frontier system.
