    ....The vallum and its associated features including the Roman road between the field boundary east of turret 34a and the field boundary west of milecastle 36 survive well as a series of upstanding and buried remains. Significant information on the development of the frontier system over time will be preserved. The monument includes the section of vallum, its associated features and an early Roman road between the field boundary east of turret 34a in the east and the field boundary west of milecastle 36 in the west. The vallum survives as a series of upstanding earthworks throughout this section. The north mound of the vallum has been reduced by pasture improvement, though it still averages 1m in height. A number of low points in the mound throughout its course denote crossings over the vallum. The south mound averages about 1.2m in height, but in places it is overlain and partly obliterated by a modern field wall. The vallum ditch is well preserved, averaging 2m in depth....
