Vindolanda Earth Wall

It's an excellent shot. The lighting is perfect.

Thank you again. Even though thats "just" a few planks I dont fancy running up a wide vallum to attack it!

Do you know when it was reconstructed? I see, it was made from wood, but looks a bit old. Interestingly, how long was saved original construction?

This is perhaps only a few years old-the climate is harsh here so weathering is fierce.Wood rots very quickly in such a wet place.

The original itself? not a long life as an upgrade to stone was in situ as soon as as the stone was available-certain parts of the wall , without adjacent quarries had to wait perhaps 10 years to be upgraded.

The Antonine Wall remained in this condition without the use of stone.
