1. The Side Street Marker

Inscription. The Side Street This is the side street which divides the two military compounds. Originally it joined the Stanegate (the main street), but sometime in the third or fourth centuries a wall was built which closed off the far end and also linked the compounds.
The rise and fall of some of the walls was caused by their gradual subsidence into the ditches of an earlier fort.
