I shall be returning to Hadrian’s Wall issues very soon but in the meantime a short video about the only Roman lighthouse still standing in Britain #Dover #archaeology #romanbritain #lighthouse #Kent
Having a dusk walk along the walls of the Roman town of Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester) the town was built in the mid 1st century within an earlier Iron Age settlement, it was never built on after the end of Roman rule and its street grid can often be seen during a dry summer
There’s a new bus service available from #Carlisle which stops along #HadriansWall to The Roman Army museum. The HW1 is great for short linear walks or rejoining the national trail. youtu.be/Tf4ND72vBsw?...

A visit to the Bridgeness Distance slab at the eastern end of the #Antoninewall, this is a replica but the real one was found close to the tower in the background in 1868 #RomanScotland
Taking a breather in the British Museum members cafe, great views over the great court.
Down in the smoke for a short visit and thought I’d stop off at the site of the Roman Bridge across the Thames #archaeology #history #London
A short update on the Roman excavation at Carlisle Cricket club as we finish in just a few days. #archaeology #HadriansWall #Carlisle

The stone foundation of the #AntonineWall exposed at New Kirkpatrick cemetery showing a drainage culvert #archaeology #Scotland
Walking off site at #Vindolanda tonight after a day of rain showers, the weather has left the best till last today #archaeology #Hadrianswall
One of the most fascinating periods of #Vindolanda was the Severan period when the stone fort was demolished and round houses built over the platform in groups of 10 back to back, Roman planning but Romano British in design. Excavation is revealing more of these structures.
The terrace of the military way built after AD160 to service the forts, Milecastles and turrets along Hadrian’s Wall.It’s a testament to the Roman builders that the road is still visible in the landscape such as here at Walltown. #archaeology #hadrianswall #history
We started excavation today with rain and finished with a beautiful evening as the site closed I feel very lucky to experience the fort in all its various weather moods #archaeology #Vindolanda #hadrianswall
The sun is out and it’s great to be back at #Vindolanda putting trowel to ancient ground #archaeology
The medieval stone robbers did a fairly comprehensive job removing the palatial Roman building currently being excavated at #Carlisle cricket club but this section of the southern wall is now seeing the light of day once again. The building dates to the early 3rd century.
A lovely bit of 2nd Century Samian pottery for #findsfriday found this week at Uncovering Roman #Carlisle #Archaeology
It’s a 10 minute walk over the river Eden to the current Roman excavation at the cricket club and tours are available no need to book #Carlisle #archaeology
The moment an almost intact mortarium was excavated at the Uncovering Roman #Carlisle dig. The contents will be analysed in the lab. These Roman mixing bowls were part of every good kitchen #archaeology #HadriansWall
A beautiful almost complete Roman mixing bowl or Mortaria about to be lifted at Uncovering Roman #Carlisle. The contents will be analysed in the lab #archaeology #HadriansWall
Looking over the remains of the southern wall of the Roman building, badly robbed for stone the width indicates it was a substantial construction #Carlisle #archaeology
First evidence of a Danish cohort of Roman troops appears in the barrow, we are still piecing together the evidence but this deadly object may have been used to stop barefoot attacks during the night #ucoveringromancarlisle

Two similar views of the Carlisle excavation from 2023 and 2026, the team has pushed back the southern edges of the trench and will have time to look at early Roman levels. The square feature are the remains of a column base #archaeology #carlisle #hadrianswall
