Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

Thank you for that link and I know that these guys do indeed do tremendous work there, however it would be even so much more if there could be some research into the the other earlier fort at Maryport to the south of the Hadrianic one
For this might throw some light onto the western end of Raymond Selkirk's 255 line frontier that has thrown up so many interesting things along its length, such as pottery and tiles of the IX Legion at Scalesceough, then a bridge abutment over the south Tyne river, also the tombstone of Flavinus at Hexham, its link to the Redhouse Fort at Corbridge, then the fort at Whitchester first found by Camden in the 16th century, then Roman coins at Turpins hill, then not forgetting the treasure from Backworth on display at Segedunum at this time.
It is also so very intersting how there are so many DMVs all along the length of this east west road.
