Abstract

The article discusses recent archaeological excavations at various sites along Hadrian's Wall in England, focusing on discoveries such as an Iron Age linch pin, Roman coins, trumpet brooches, and a dual balance beam. The findings shed light on the construction, occupation, and modifications of forts and structures along the wall, including details about milecastles, extramural areas, and well-preserved remains of Roman buildings. The research also highlights the presence of early Christian burials, industrial zones, and administrative/military functions within the Roman structures. Additionally, the article mentions the discovery of a Roman road between Carlisle and Kirkbride, showcasing evidence of forts, granaries, and bathhouse complexes in the region.
