Hadrians Wall

[Kegluneq]

I was out in the countryside yesterday and on my way home I called in at Chesters fort and was very sad to see that since all the financial cutbacks the grass on the site was looking a little like a wilderness without there being any groundsman as in the days when I worked there surely this is a sad situation indeed for what UNESCO considered to be a World Monument.

Overgrowth seems to be endemic at HW forts, although Chesters should be easier to keep clear than, say, Housesteads.

Anyone had a chance to see the new exhibit of the Hoard at Corbridge? Saw on the Per Lineam Valli Twitter feed that the official unveiling had taken place, hopefully after the display had already been in place for a few weeks...
