Abstract
Wallsend: where did they keep the horses in Roman forts?
Nicholas Hodgson
Bill Griffiths
284 - 289
Extensive excavation of the fort has shown that horses were stabled in buildings which were also used by the cavalrymen themselves. The horses of officers seem to have had better accommodation than those of the ordinary men. It is proposed that the fort housed a part-mounted cohort of about 500 men. Remains of later industrial exportation of the area were also found.
High Rochester--life beyond the wall
James G Crow
290 - 294
Forts such as High Rochester stood north of Hadrian's Wall and protected the routes into Scotland, whilst also providing bases for surveillance and intelligence gathering. A variety of geophysical and other survey techniques have been deployed to investigates the site's history.

Arbeia--death and destruction at the Roman fort of South Shields
Paul T Bidwell
Nicholas Hodgson
313 - 317
Excavation at South Shields, a major supply base for the garrison of Hadrian's Wall has focussed on levels dating between AD 200 (when the depot is thought to have originated) and its end in the fifth century. The end of occupation at the fort seems to have been marked by a fire, apparently started with hostile intent. The burnt layers sealed considerable deposits relating to a range of activities.
