Archaeological monitoring works were carried out in support of Access Improvement works along the line of the Antonine Wall and surrounding areas. Despite the fact the all of the archaeologically monitored excavation works took place within the boundary of the Scheduled Monument the Antonine Wall no significant archaeological features were observed and no anthropic material was recovered other than would relate to the modern (20th or 21st century) use of the site. The most likely explanation for the lack of significant material is the small nature of the excavations and the fact that they were often carried out on sites of previous modern disturbance.
