Hadrians wall

Brampton

Hadrian's Wall, historically referred to as the Roman Wall or Picts' Wall, was a protective barrier built by the Romans in AD 122 during Emperor Hadrian's rule. Spanning from Wallsend on the River Tyne to Bowness-on-Solway in today's northern England, this stone fortification, accompanied by extensive ditches on both sides, stretched across the island's width. Along its length, soldiers were stationed in major forts, smaller outposts called milecastles, and periodic watchtowers. Beyond its primary defense purpose, the wall's gates might have served as customs checkpoints.
