The vallum between the road to Laversdale at Oldwall and Baron's Dike in wall miles 59 and 60 is a Roman earthwork forming part of the defensive system associated with Hadrian's Wall. Located in Cumberland, this section of the vallum consists of a substantial ditch with accompanying banks, running parallel to the Wall itself as part of the frontier infrastructure. The vallum dates to the second century AD and served as a boundary marker and military demarcation line across the Northumbrian landscape. This particular stretch, preserved in wall miles 59 and 60, remains an important archaeological record of Roman military engineering on the northern frontier of Britain.
