A look at Milecastle 37 on #HadriansWall youtu.be/NiC6crRYcdw?...

I think I’ve the guide book issue covered! Interesting to see how much change there has been at #Vindolanda since 1971

Yes it’s a beautiful island once you get out from the bland resorts and into the mountains

I’ve got away from grey rainy Britain for the intense blue skies of Teide National park on #Tenerife. I can’t tell you enough how much I love this volcanic landscape #Geology

A montage of the Uncovering Roman Carlisle excavations. The site of the 3rd century building is so large and complex its has required many investigations since 2017 and the story continues, a new exhibition opens soon at Tullie House Museum #Carlisle #diggingforbritain #Archaeology

Great section on the plaster, with some of the wall fragments coming out of the Carlisle dig it was interesting to compare

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

I’m looking forward to heading down to Current Archaeology live in February. Fingers crossed for the awards. Please vote if you can #archaeology

Looking up towards Sticks pass and the #Helvellyn range on a winters afternoon #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #landscapes

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 Vicars Peel in Corbridge built around the year 1400 of reused roman stone from the nearby site of Coria and still in use as a gin bar #Northumberland #hadrianswall

Thanks and to you

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

I passed by the other evening

And to you

A quick look at the South Gate of the fort at #Birdoswald on #HadriansWall which sit high above the river Irthing in Cumbria #archaeology #romanbritain

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

Possible sleet by the weekend but snow unlikely

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.

Squeeze down Peter lane to the medieval house of Richard Warry #York

It’s always worth checking behind the bins in #York, the remains of a 12th century Norman house just off Stonegate

Here very soon myself
