The wall you're looking at isn't Roman. It's a modern field boundary. See, e.g., A.S. Robertson, The Antonine Wall (3rd edn. 1979), p. 69: "Within the Forestry Commission plantation, the Ditch may be followed by keeping close to the northern limit of the planted area. For the next quarter-mile (0.4km) or more the Ditch has a stone wall set in it."
btw The geographical setting is the approach to the fort at Bar Hill, if you're interested.
