Quote:It might be worth it to mention there are only two Roman forts on Hadrians' Wall that are anything near the river Tyne these are "Pons Aelius" and "Segedunum". The wall leaves the Pons Aelius in a West of N'west direction, hence the need to correct your drawing Yuri. The first time it comes near a river again is at Cilurnum on the north branch of the river Tyne. The Vallum goes with the wall over the high ground of the Tyne Valley and westward or rather West of S'west from Limestone Corner some 3 miles or so west of Chesters....This clearly shows that Hadrians' Wall is not straight but is an inverted V shape, with the apex at Limestone Corner.
Hi Brian, could you make me a sketch of what you mean? Im not entirely sure, in my drawing the wall leaves the fort in that direction!
