The vallum between the road to Laversdale at Oldwall and Baron's Dike in wall miles 59 and 60 is a section of the vallum, the defensive earthwork that runs parallel to Hadrian's Wall in northern England. This feature dates to the Roman period, constructed in the second century AD as part of the fortification system accompanying the wall itself. The vallum consists of a substantial ditch with flanking mounds and formed a demarcation line controlling access to the wall from the south. This particular stretch, situated in Cumberland near Oldwall, represents surviving evidence of the Roman military infrastructure that dominated the landscape along the wall's line during the Imperial occupation of Britain.
