I would have thought it was generally accepted that the wall would not be manned like a medieval castle under siege as in Kiplings "Puck of Puck Hill". It was intended as a means of making it difficult fo travellers to evade customs and for raiding parties to get in and out with horses / pack animals. If there was a siege it would be of the forts .<br>
There would seem to be some doubt whether there was a walk way on the top. If that was the case you would see the wall as a stone version of the Limes in Germany. <p></p><i></i>
