Let's hope it's shield friendly (neither kissing gates nor stiles are).

Oh dear: the bastion trap! Those are towers at pevensey, this is a bastion at berwick ;-) NB Pennance is to mutter 'trace italienne' sixty times an hour for a day.

Now, let me see ...

Hmmm, let me think ...

Nice to have a cross-section of the wall surviving to rampart-walk height too ;-)😀

Well, it seems like a good idea. so here's a milecastle with a wiggle for #RomanMilecastleWednesday: Milecastle 30 at Limestone Corner.

It's been a long time since I've done much distance walking/hiking. However, I am now considering a biggie in a few years' time: along the whole German Limes between the Rhine and Danube in one go. #AsYouDo #ORL

Seamlessly uniting #RomanFortThursday and #AdorableThursday (who wouldn't?) here's a studded fort gate on Trajan's Column.

I'm going to be talking to the Berwick History Society on Thursday December 18th with a sideways look at all aspects of the good old #CrosbyGarrett Helmet. berwickhistorysociety.chessck.co.uk/Events

This stone is interesting, since it implied that the classis Britannica was not only involved in building Benwell fort during the initial #hadrianswall fort building phase in the east, but also in the later upgrade of the Turf Wall to stone to the west. Got to keep the matelots busy, after all 😉

For #fingerpostfriday, here's mine hanging in my hall in Scottish Borders (above postcards of my house from 1906), pointing in pretty much the right direction towards #hadrianswall (although the distance is a bit off!).

Welcome to all new followers! have a bit of #hadrianswall and a chunky little phallic symbol to tide you over until my current work hell is over.

Just a little reminder of the existence of my Flickr album of

Perhaps it time to remind #hadrianswall folk that Dave Armstrong's book, *The Hadrian's Wall Military Way* is still available from me (as indeed are several other books). tinyurl.com/24k5v8ck
