Birdoswald Roman Fort
At Birdoswald Roman Fort on Hadrian's Wall there are almost 2,000 years of history to discover - from the Romans right up to the present day. This new guide includes a tour and history of the archaeological site and surrounding landscape, plus full-colour maps, plans, eyewitness accounts and historic photographs.
Birdoswald
Birdoswald was the eleventh fort from the east end of Hadrian's wall. The 1987-92 excavations reported here in great detail explored a long and complex stratified sequence dating from the 2nd century AD. Work concentrated on buildings either side of the via principalis , but also included investigation of the northern defences and the eastern wall at the porta quintana dextra . The report discusses the pre-Roman environment, the construction of the stone fort, discussing the evidence in different periods, the Roman ceramics, the small finds, animal bones and medieval and modern periods. Quite a clear occupation history emerges, from the clearing of the woods in the early 120s AD to the abandonment of the site c.520 AD and the text is copiously illustrated.
Hadrian's Wall
From 1976 to 2000 English Heritage archaeologists undertook excavation and research on Hadrian's Wall. This book reports on these findings and includes the first publication, of the James Irwin Coates archive of drawings of Hadrian' Wall made in 1877-96.
Hadrian's Wall Path
The essential guidebook to walking the 135km (84 mile) Hadrian's Wall Path. One of the UK's most visited National Trails, it runs the length of the Roman Wall from Bowness-on-Solway in Cumbria to Wallsend, Newcastle. The trail is presented here in 10 stages, with suggestions for five and eight-day itineraries. It is suitable for beginners, although a reasonable level of fitness is required if doing it as a multi-day walk. The route is described both west to east and east to west, and the guidebook also features an extension through Newcastle to South Shields on the east coast. This guidebook contains a wealth of information on the history of the Wall, and a range of practical information for walkers, from accommodation and itinerary planning, to details on public transport and refreshments. A separate map booklet of 1:25,000 scale OS maps shows the full route. Clear step-by-step route descriptions in the guide are illustrated by 1:100,000 OS map extracts. The route description links together with the map booklet at each stage along the way, and the compact format is conveniently sized for slipping into a jacket pocket or the top of a rucksack.
