I can't make sense of the arrangement of the archaeological remains in this photo. The Antonine Wall was built of turf on stone foundations and featured a ditch on its northern side. Then why is in this section the stone substructure running within the ditch? To excavate a ditch only to raise the wall at its bottom is militarily absurd. Here and here other shots.
