Quote:I do indeed have a picture but it should be a bit of an easy one.Not too easy, Brian -- I recognized the photo immediately, but it took me 24 hours to remember the details of the location.
I should have known you'd pick the neighbourhood of Coventina's Well, Brian (which you've mentioned before, more than once)!
Your picture is Gibson's photo of the B6318 (Military Road) looking west towards Carraw Farm. The road marks the line of Hadrian's Wall, which was dismantled to build the flanking dry stone dykes.
My photo of Wall Mile 31 is looking east towards the fort platform at Carrawburgh. Same stretch of road, though. The wall running north (to the right) in the middle-distance of Gibson's photo is the wall running to the left of my photo. The dip that it slumps into is the wall ditch. And we're back to ditches ..!
