Title Heddon-on-the-Wall, Hadrian's Wall, April 2021: HW21 excavation across the Vallum
Description WallCAP staff excavated a 40m x 2m evaluation trench across the Vallum complex in a cultivated field to the east of the village of Heddon-on-the-Wall. Work took place over 3 days in April 2021. The Vallum complex runs through 3 fields lying immediately south of the B6528 between the villages of Bank Top and Heddon-on-the-Wall. The curtain wall is buried beneath the road along this stretch, but is then visible as a 250m length of standing remains in a field on the eastern edge of Heddon-on-the-Wall. The Vallum ditch and banks can still be seen as earthworks in the most westerly of the three fields, which is in pasture. The field within which the excavation took place is the most easterly of the three and has been cultivated for some time. The mounds and ditch can be traced as soil marks, in the gentle rise and dip of fencing on the field's western margin and as very slight earthworks.
