Bradley Burn valley south-east of Vindolanda
-
Description
"Long Stone can be seen on the left hand skyline [[371786]] with a Roman Signal Station built inside an earlier prehistoric settlement slightly further north, with views north to Hadrian's Wall http://www.keystothepast.info/article/10339/Site-Details?PRN=N6569 A grassy mound above the trees at the far right of the photo may be the remains of another with views to the south http://www.keystothepast.info/article/10339/Site-Details?PRN=N6613 Quarry faces on the south-west summit of the hill are thought to be Roman in origin. The northern quarry [[2868000]] has not been reworked since Roman times and still shows some Roman inscriptions [[2868050]] http://www.keystothepast.info/article/10339/Site-Details?PRN=N15305 Clay beds near the Bradley Burn were quarried by the Romans to make roof tiles, large numbers found during excavations show the imprint of the feet of domestic and wild animals as they were left to dry. Spoil heaps among the trees above the valley show the location of levels for coal mines which are of much later origin, although coal here was probably also known to the Romans."
