Looking down on "King Arthur's Well"

  • Description

    "Since the opening of Hadrian's Wall National Trail in 2003, the tread of countless feet of hikers following the Hadrians Wall National Trail http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/hadrianswall/ has caused serious erosion which is being addressed by the construction of stone walkways and steps at a number of locations. Here is a flight of steps to the east of "King Arthur's Well". Sites and place names attributed to King Arthur abound in many parts of the country. The opportunity has been taken following the disturbance caused by path construction at this point to excavate the site at the foot of the slope. What has been found is evidence of a hitherto unknown Roman building - definitely pre-Arthurian and definitely not a well." Photo by Oliver Dixon, 2008.
