Field south of Hexham Road, Throckley
Hexham Road is on the left. It started life as the Military Road built on the foundations of Hadrian's Wall. The Vallum, running south of the Wall runs parallel to it through this field but ploughing has reduced its profile making it difficult to see here even in good light conditions. The houses at Throckley Bank Top are just visible at the far end of the field.
