Vindolanda Roman Site, Hadrian's Wall

This is a fascinating site which may date from AD85, i.e.long before the construction of Hadrian's Wall.

The site is huge and still under excavation. It has evidence of both military and civilian occupation, right through to the end of the Roman occupaton in he early 5th century and beyond.

Vindolanda is famous for its collection of ink and waxed writing tablets which afford us a unique insight into frontier life during ther Roman occupation. There is a good museum and Vistor Centre.
