One of the most scenic Roman roads in Britain runs from the fort at Burrow fort north to the fort at Low Borrowbridge in the lune gorge running along the slopes of the Howgill fells in Cumbria. The shot shows the road passing Low Carlingill farm. The road continues up to the Eden Valle #Margary7c

It’s worth a 5 minute walk west of the village car park in #Corbridge to see the Roman bridge stones which carried Dere Street over the river Tyne. The stones have been moved from their excavation site to better protect and display then.

“The canton of the Durotriges of Lendiniae”a building stone from #HadriansWall mentioning the British tribe of the Durotriges based around Dorset inscribed on a reused altar. These Civitas stones survive showing the tribes of Britain contributed to the rebuilding of the wall.

The video about the latrines at #Vindolanda fort which is situated just south of Hadrian’s Wall (the fort not the loo) an excellent paper on the analysis of the waste from the bath house toilets can be be found in this link m.facebook.com/story.php?st... #hadrianswall #archaeology #toilets

A building stone of the 1st Cohort of Tungrians found in the granary wall at Housesteads fort. The stone is upside down indicating it was reused here when the building was divided into two. The tungrians came from the area which now covers east Belgium. #RIB3326 #hadrianswall #archaeology

The Housesteads chap, another good luck symbol carved into the late Bath house wall within the fort. Very hard to see in bright sunlight so a sidelight on a winters day does the trick #hadrianswall #archaeology

A heavy fall of snow at Vindolanda fort a few years back, a moment of almost complete silence on site apart from the soft patter of snowflakes which drew my imagination into the past. #hadrianswall #archaeology #northumberland

Taking a break from the Christmas crowds in York to look at a section of fortress wall in the museum gardens. York was founded in the AD70’s but earlier defensive ditches have been found possibly from a slightly earlier expeditionary campaign.

Looking west at Brocolitia fort at on #HadriansWall. The wall runs under the military road but the north ditch is visible. The fort was a later build created to fill a gap between Housesteads and Chesters fort as evidenced by the vallum which was filled in and the fort built over the top.

A Roman funerary monument found at the fort of Verbeia (Ilkley) and now in the local museum. I wonder if they thought their images would still be gazed upon over 1800 years later
