Overview

History & significance

The vallum and early Roman road between the field boundary east of turret 34a and the field boundary west of milecastle 36 is a section of Hadrian's Wall complex in Northumberland, preserving evidence of Roman military infrastructure dating to the second century AD. The site encompasses approximately three wall miles and contains physical remains of the vallum, the substantial earthwork that ran parallel to the Wall on its southern side, alongside traces of the early Roman road system that served the frontier. These features collectively demonstrate the logistical and defensive organisation of one of Rome's most significant northern frontiers, with the vallum serving as a boundary and control mechanism for traffic moving between the military zone and the civilian landscape beyond. The surviving archaeological remains in this section contribute important evidence to understanding the development and maintenance of the Wall system during the Roman occupation of Britain.
