Haltonchesters Roman fort is a second-century military installation positioned along Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, situated at the point where the wall crosses the Tyne Valley. The fort, known in Roman times as Onnum, served as a cavalry garrison and formed part of the chain of auxiliary forts constructed to support the Wall's defensive system during the Roman occupation of Britain. The fort remains visible as earthwork features within the landscape, with associated elements of Hadrian's Wall and its vallum ditch surviving in the vicinity between the fort and Fence Burn at wall mile 21. The site represents an important example of Roman military infrastructure from the second and third centuries AD and contributes significantly to understanding the archaeological evidence of Rome's northern frontier in Britain.
