The vallum between the road to Steel Rigg car park and the road in Caw Gap in wall miles 39, 40 and 41
-
Description
...The monument includes the section of vallum between the west side of the road to Steel Rigg car park in the east and the west side of the road to Caw Gap in the west. The vallum follows an almost level course throughout this section in the low ground south of Windshields Crags and north of the ridge which carries the Stanegate Roman road. The vallum survives well and is visible as an upstanding earthwork. The ditch averages 1m in depth, while the north and south mounds, which have been substantially reduced, average 0.3m in height. Near Shield on the Wall the ditch has a maximum depth of 2m and the north and south mounds are 1m high. At Twice Brewed the B6318 overlies the vallum, running between the ditch and the southern mound. Parts of the north mound and ditch here have been destroyed by quarrying. About 1km west of Winshields farm a building platform is recesed into the vallum. It measures 22m long by 4m wide.... -
