The plan shows dotted lines indicating where the walls of the fort might have been, this would then indicate that Hadrians' Wall has to connect with this fort and not as previously stated in earlier discussion as to the fort being to the south of the Wall.
In my Tenth Edition edited by Ian A. Richmond on page 46 it mentions that Hadrians' Wall probably left the north west angle of the Newcastle fort on the line of Westgate Street. There is also mention that the Wall ditch was found in 1934 just north of the Stephenson monument in Westgate Road and from this point it's line is parallel with this road.
If anyone is familiar with the Stephenson monument that is right in front of the Central Railway Station an eastward projection of the Westgate Street from there has to meet this fort.
