Reconstruction of tower and turf wall, Vindolanda

This reconstruction of part of Hadrian's Wall was built at Vindolanda in 1973. There is also a reconstructed section of stone wall, just out of shot. The actual roman wall is about a mile to the north. Image shows the view from the other side of the wall, taken 18 years later, and rather worse for wear.
