| Title | Roman Quarrying at Hadrian's Wall: WallCAP Guide No. 10 |
| Description | In order to build Hadrian's Wall, quarrymen would have needed to source over 1.4 million m3 of stone in a short time frame. At the moment, only seven Roman quarries have been identified through inscriptions, and it has been estimated that these would not have been able to produce enough stone for the Wall (ODonnell 2020). This may mean that a large number of the currently undated quarries in the Wall area were originally opened in the Roman period. This guide provides an overview of the different types of quarries, what kinds of evidence to look for when identifying quarries in the field, and a glossary of common terms. |
