Hadrian's Wall and vallum between the road to Simonburn and the field boundary east of Carrawburgh car park in wall miles 29, 30 and 31 - List Entry

  • Description

    ...Hadrian's Wall and its associated works between the minor road to Simonburn and the field boundary east of Carrawburgh car park survive well as upstanding and buried features for most of this section. There are two particularly well preserved sections of consolidated Wall and the impressive rock cut wall ditch and vallum ditch at Limestone Corner. Elsewhere the remains survive as earthworks and buried features. Significant information on the development of the frontier system over time, will be preserved.....This section of the Wall follows an alignment straight from the North Tyne to the high point at Limestone Corner where it changes to a more westerly direction and occupies the gentle west facing slope all the way to Carrawburgh. There are good views to the north and south all along this section, and in particular from Limestone Corner.....
