Hadrian's Wall
Hadrian's Wall is a long Roman frontier curtain wall across northern England, running from Wallsend on the River Tyne to Bowness-on-Solway. Built of stone with forts, milecastles and watch-tower turrets spaced along its length, it formed a continuous fortified boundary and was garrisoned by Roman troops.

As it stood in AD 128
The shape it held in its prime.
A continuous stone curtain wall about 12–15 feet high, built of roughly coursed sandstone blocks and running as a straight, linear ridge across open moorland. Regular small watch-turrets punctuate the line, with larger rectangular forts and gated milecastles set at intervals; deep defensive ditches and the parallel Vallum earthworks lie to the south. In prime condition the wall’s stone faces are smooth and dressed and many stretches are covered with pale lime plaster or whitewash, standing prominently against green rolling hills.
