ENGLAND 3. HADRIAN'S WALL

Abstract

(1) Peel Gap (NY 75253 67534): a collapsed section of the southern face of the curtain, previously revealed and consolidated in the nineteenth century by work-parties employed by John Clayton (giving the name ‘Clayton Wall’), was repaired to the west of Peel Gap tower. During the work, an undisturbed lower course of curtain was revealed with in-situ mortar on the tail ends of at least three facing stones. A sample of mortar was taken for analysis.10
