A view of the Roman drain now fully uncovered at the Uncovering Roman Carlisle excavation just south of #HadriansWall, stone robbers have removed a section but it’s still impressive #Archaeology

A section of #HadriansWall was excavated over the last 3 weeks to find the line of the wall and the site of Milecastle 76 at the western end of the wall. This remarkable section was exposed including a cut showing the early turf wall which was rebuilt in stone during the later 2nd century.

The column of Marcian dates to the mid 5th Century AD and stood on one of the major routes into Constantinople but was surrounded by buildings and lost from public view until a fire in 1908 opened up the area revealed it again #Istanbul #archaeology #türkiye

Up taking in the view from #Newcastle Keep built directly on top of the Hadrian’s Wall fort of Pons Aeli. The remains of the central buildings are marked out in the pavement. The Roman bridge was located by the swing bridge (red and white) on the river Tyne #hadrianswall
