Antonine Wall - Mapping The Wall

Mapping The Wall

The first capable effort to systematically map the Antonine Wall was undertaken in 1764 by William Roy, of Ordnance Survey fame. He provided accurate and detailed drawings of its remains, and where the wall has been destroyed by later development, his maps and drawings are now the only reliable record of it.

Famous quotes containing the word wall:

    “It is hard going to the door
    cut so small in the wall where
    the vision which echoes loneliness
    brings a scent of wild flowers in the wood.”
    —Robert Creeley (b. 1926)
