Quote:... our man Campbell's map of this fort, ... that is if that drawing of it has any credibility at all. Infact I would like to know just who it was that made that drawing in the first place for half of it is speculation anyway.I'm afraid I can only take credit for locating for the excavation plan, not actually drawing it! (It's signed J.N., John Nolan.)
I don't know about "half of it" being speculation! As far as I can see, the only speculation is the "supposed line of fort wall". The rest is a representation of archaeological work done on behalf of Newcastle City Council and published in Britannia 17 (1986), p. 377.
Quote:... by looking at Campbell's diagram, the positioning of the fort and the outline of the wall I would personally say they do connect.Hadrian's Wall does not appear in the excavation plan!
As I said before (and Mike Bishop seems to have confirmed to you), it's relationship with the fort has never been established.
