Hadrian's Wall and vallum between the access road to Glendale caravan park and the track south of Kirkland House in wall miles 77 and 78 - List Entry
-
Description
....Hadrian's Wall and vallum including the remains of Milecastle 78 between the access road to Glendale caravan park and the track south of Kirkland House survive well as buried remains. Significant information on the function of the remains and the development of the frontier system over time will be preserved..... Hadrian's Wall survives throughout this section as a buried feature. West of milecastle 78 the Wall turns northwards to follow the Solway coast in contrast to the vallum which runs straight in this section. It is not certain whether the ditch to the north of the Wall was provided in this section, as a ditch would have been superfluous so close to the shore and liable to tidal flooding.... -
