Hadrian's Wall vallum is a linear earthwork forming part of the defensive system constructed during the Roman occupation of Britain under the Emperor Hadrian in the second century AD. This section of the vallum, located in Cumberland between the dismantled railway north of Knockupworth Cottage and that south of Boomby Gill in wall mile 67, comprises a substantial ditch with flanking mounds characteristic of the monument's design across its length. The vallum ran parallel to the stone wall itself and served administrative and logistical functions, demarcating the military zone and controlling access to the wall from the south. This stretch represents a well-preserved segment of this extensive Roman frontier system, which extended approximately seventy-three miles across northern Britain from the Solway Firth to the Tyne Valley.
