Turret 36b buried under the fort
The first structures to be built along the line of Hadrian’s wall in AD122 would have been the Milecastles every Roman mile with two turrets built between them. A decision was made to add forts to the line of the wall and meaning several turrets and a Milecastle were demolished to make way for the forts. Only at Housesteads fort can one of these lost turrets still be seen.

The Stonegate, wandering road
มุมมอง 281หลายเดือนก่อน
Stanegate is one of the busiest shopping streets in Britain but deep beneath its stone surface lies the Via Praetoria which was the most important road within any Roman fort which lead to the headquarters building. In effect no matter what the fort in the empire a soldier arrived at they would have know where to find the heart of the fort even at night. This particular raid saw the arrival of n...
Hadrian’s Wall turret 52a (a tale of two walls)
มุมมอง 5832 หลายเดือนก่อน
The western end of Hadrian’s Wall was built of turf with a timber breastwork along the top but its turrets were built of stone. When towards the end of Hadrian’s reign the wall was rebuilt in stone the turrets were included in the rebuild. So here is a tale of two walls.

A lost Roman bridge
มุมมอง 2.1K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
Deep in the Shropshire countryside on the line of the roman road known as Watling street (west) lies an almost unknown and crumbling bridge abutment crossing Radnor brook. Excavation in the 1950’s showed it was resurfaced at least 3 times and probably had a timber superstructure. It is one of 10 left in the UK and is at high risk of being lost forever unless work is done to consolidate it soon.
Where did the builders of Hadrian’s Wall live?

A look at the temporary Roman camp of Burnhead slightly north of Hadrian’s Wall which may have housed troops building the wall and forts in the AD120’s. The site is a rare example of a camp although many are known about. The camp and surrounding area is scheduled and protected under law.

Bremenium, Rome’s Remote outpost fort
Always something new to see along the Wall. Thank you Pete
The army built the wall, forts and turrets I believe. Was future maintenance of the structure done by the army, or was it possible private contractors were used after its completion? This would have allowed the solders to carry on with their guard duties.
@@StephenDavenport-zqz2ub the army would have continued to rebuild and repair the wall although the standard declined over time. We have inscribed stones saying various British tribes helped in the rebuilding however it’s not known if this was labour or they provided funds
Respect.
Thank you 🎉🎉
What a lovely day to go exploring 😊😊
Interesting, as always
Thanks for the update!
Unbelievable to think these ruins are still visible after so many years and now through your expertise people like myself can learn so much about Bearsden fort and the Roman soldiers who lived and worked there, thanks
I really have to visit the western side of the Wall - Ravenglass, Hardknott, Ambleside and now Bearsden! Thanks for the inspiration, Pete.
Another gem uncovering 'hidden' Roman Britain. A perfect end to Boxing Day 2024. Thank you, Peter.
@@dirksawyer5667 thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you once again for another fascinating broadcast.
@@malcolmhill691 thanks 🙏🏻
Interesting seeing the difference in construction methods, compared with the larger bathhouse at Binchester. Mainly the use of stone, rather than fired clay brick on the pillars on the underfloor heating as well as stone cavity venting on the walls compared with the clay air vent tubing. Great video as always, thanks for taking the time to keep making them.
@@anthonysimm glad you found it useful
An enjoyable walk round with you 🎉🎉
Surely they could take some of that wall down and have a temporary plastic fence to put in place when needed !! Very interesting anyway ! 😁
@@patspc6688 the land is not owned by the trust and the rebuilding of walls is an expensive business. It is frustrating but that western half will wait
I wonder why the pyramids surrounding area hasnt been excavated like this example ?
The Romans needed access to the north, hence the milecastle gates at frequent intervals along the Wall.
Another great video! I was actually surprised that there are burials on the wall line. It's the first time I ever saw reference to it.
I saw the excavations in July this year while walking the Wall, so good to see the extent of what was uncovered. Magna is such a fascinating fort and I love the Roman Army Museum, well worth a visit. Thank you for this video Pete, and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.
@@sianwilliams2271 thank you and seasons greetings 🎄
Wonderful escape from the "holidays" for me. Thank you.
@@superditdit48 thanks
great video!
It’s an intriguing thought to think what archeological remains are buried in this Roman fort, thanks for another great video, so informative.
@@bluesbreaker1956 thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you once again.
@@malcolmhill691 thanks
How does one volunteer at the excavation sites? Is it a case of turning up or is there forms to fill in etc. Id love to get my hands dirty and become a part of discovering history
@@BradleyHayward-yr8kq the webpage Vindolanda.com use the drop down list to the excavate page. Places are all booked for 2025 but cancellations do happen. You can book a two week session when available. Many archaeological sites offer places for digs so it worth checking online in your local area
@romanhistorywalks6526 Thank-you, I'm hoping to sometime get onto the Carlisle cricket ground excavations sometime, I spoke one of the site workers and he said sometimes turning up on the day can get you a slot if someone doesn't turn up. I'd absolutely love it
Fab video as always.
More than welcome 🎉🎉🎉
Peter, as always a great video, and so knowledgeable. Trust you will have a peaceful Christmas for you and your family
@@brynmorjenkins4376 thanks 🙏🏻

As a fan of Roman drains, I was thrilled to see the footage here! Some fantastic finds this season. Thank you for the round-up, Pete, much appreciated.

Thank you for your fascinating and beautifully put together films. They are much appreciated.
@@malcolmhill691 thanks
Great video. I like knowing about Severus.
Always enjoy your videos - thank you!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well over a decade ago I went into an electrical shop on Gallowgate (the back of which faces St Andrew's graveyard as shown in your video here) and on the second floor you could see remnants of the wall. They built the entire building around it. Looking at street view it's a restaurant now, not sure if you can get upstairs anymore.
@@robandny7672 I’ll have to see next time I’m in toon
So much information packed in here, thanks Pete.
@@sianwilliams2271 thanks
Would there have been a little village around this place? Like for food or stores or class b dependants or whatnot? Or was it just the fort?
@@boomervision5782 probably just the bridge and soldiers, the fort less than a mile away had a reasonable population surrounding it and what looks like a market space.
It's a nice walk down the hill from Birdoswald Fort and milecastle with one of the best stretches of the wall. You cross a bridge made from the same steel as the Angel of the North. Nice walk and visit with more of the wall of you keep going.
Fascinating and ambitious undertaking. Those graphic are impressive as well.
@@superditdit48 yes I was lucky to get special permission but it makes the difference
my latin teacher would have loved your channel!
Absolutely fascinating, thank you!
Thank you. Those graphics were wonderful. Really helped me understand the layouts you described.
Nice “birdge”
Fascinating insight into our Roman heritage. Thank you for a great video !
@@brynmorjenkins4376 thanks
I would love to be able to walk along the wall, even for just a few miles. Maybe one of these days......
The Romans were amazing builders 🎉🎉
They really were!
Another fascinating video. Thank you. Why did they reuse the bridge stonework? Was the bridge replaced or demolished?
@@martinstephens987 possibly a major weather event but the creation of the military way meant there was a need for a roadway over the river Irthing as the Stanegate was proving too distant as a supply route
Been there, done that with my wife, daughter & 2 grandkids one of who has gone on to get her degree in History from St Andrews University
Please keep the videos coming Pete, they are so educational to me and no doubt to many others.
@@bluesbreaker1956 thank you
I just love your insights to the construction detail. Worth looking out for. Great!
Excellent vid as always. Always look forward to the notification popping up of a new video. Cheers!
