A last look at the uncovering Roman Carlisle trenches as the dig ended today. After recording the #archaeology will be backfilled to preserve it #HadriansWall #History

A view of the Roman drain now fully uncovered at the Uncovering Roman Carlisle excavation just south of #HadriansWall, stone robbers have removed a section but it’s still impressive #Archaeology

A fantastic book launch tonight of a new book by David Breeze which I’m privileged to have contributed too. Out now and an excellent publication. #HadriansWall

A lovely bone hairpin excavated yesterday on site #UncoveringRomanCarlisle

Sun, Showers and rainbows over the trenches at the Uncovering Roman #Carlisle excavation #Archaeology

It’s great to been back on the Carlisle Roman Excavation once again #HadriansWall #Archaeology

The barriers are down on the newly consolidated SW corner of Vindolanda fort which formed part of the 2019-2023 excavations #archaeology #HadriansWall

A section of #HadriansWall was excavated over the last 3 weeks to find the line of the wall and the site of Milecastle 76 at the western end of the wall. This remarkable section was exposed including a cut showing the early turf wall which was rebuilt in stone during the later 2nd century.

I called by the site of the next Uncovering Roman Carlisle dig which starts on the 26th October. It will possible to visit the site and chat to the team and take a tour. #HadriansWall #Carlisle #archaeology

The remains of a Roman flagon found during excavation during the 2024 excavation season. The Uncovering roman Carlisle Team will be back from the 26th October for a short 2 week dig. #HadriansWall #Carlisle #archaeology

The Column of the Goths in Gülhane park #Istanbul not on many peoples list but worth seeking out this enigmatic monument #Türkiye #Constantinople

The column of Marcian dates to the mid 5th Century AD and stood on one of the major routes into Constantinople but was surrounded by buildings and lost from public view until a fire in 1908 opened up the area revealed it again #Istanbul #archaeology #türkiye

New affordable housing in Langdale revealed #LakeDistrict

Up taking in the view from #Newcastle Keep built directly on top of the Hadrian’s Wall fort of Pons Aeli. The remains of the central buildings are marked out in the pavement. The Roman bridge was located by the swing bridge (red and white) on the river Tyne #hadrianswall

A look at the strong room at the heart of Chesters fort on #HadriansWall #archaeology

Looking west along the line of Hadrian’s Wall to Bogle Hole and Caw Gap Turret. The later field wall uses many Roman stone and sits on its foundations. #archaeology #Hadrianswall

Looking east over the remains of turret 45a on #HadriansWall, the turret was built earlier than the wall as a watchtower but incorporated into the wall system

It’s a tad breezy up on Walltown crags today #HadriansWall #archaeology

A nice bit of evening light showing up the Stanegate road as it approaches Haltwhistle Burn Fortlet close to the Milecastle Inn #HadriansWall #RomanRoads

A view over the busy Roman landscape south of Great Chesters Fort. In the upper middle of the shot is Barcombe Hill in shadow but hidden below in the valley is Vindolanda fort. #Hadrianswall #romanroads #archaeology

The National Trust had a very successful day with events at Ambleside Roman Fort this Sunday and great to see such an interested turnout to take the guided tours. I hope there will be more and possibly see a bath house dig? @NationalTrust.org.uk @Nattrustarch.bsky.social #LakeDistrict

Looking east along Hadrian’s Wall in the light rain to the site of Milecastle 33 #archaeology #RomanBritain

Remembering the bath house excavation at Birdoswald which took place for 4 seasons before being reburied.its a pity such an amazing building couldn’t be consolidated #festivalofarchaeology #hadrianswall

The steps leading into the strong room under the headquarters building in the west compound at #Corbridge Roman town. The room would have held the soldiers pay and savings. A building inscription of the 6th legion dated AD192-202 was found inside during excavation. #RIB1163

I finally got to see Mad Jack Fullers pyramid in East Sussex on a day as hot as Egypt.

Some nice window glass corners out from the trench and the plunge pool is slowly being revealed along with fallen wall plaster. What history will be excavated today #carlisle #archaeology #HadriansWall #diggingforbritain

Finger marks left 1800 years ago on the inside of an amphora which brought the luxuries of southern Europe to the edge of empire along #HadriansWall, found this week during the #carlisle Roman excavation #Archaeology

Hats off to the teams of hard working volunteers working on the finds which need cleaning and analysis once out of the trenches, the #Carlisle Roman site has generated an incredible array of finds from pottery ,metallic objects to wall plaster #Archaeology #HadriansWall

Sun hats and ice cream was the order of the day on the Carlisle Roman excavation #archaeology

Found during excavations at #Vindolanda fort just south of Hadrian’s wall this writing tablet made of thin sheets of wood was uncovered dating between AD95-105 to Sulpicia Lepidina from Claudia Severa inviting her to a birthday party. The final lines are in Claudia’s own hand

An update on the Carlisle Roman dig youtu.be/8-oXQ7bFCkw?...

A short video on the last few days on the Roman Carlisle excavation #archaeology #Hadrianswall

Sadly the dig is cancelled today as it’s just too dangerous to barrow off site. Monday is looking far better #Carlisle #archaeology #hadrianswall

Nice to see @andrewtibbs.bsky.social has made it into St Paul’s bookshop

A short trench tour of the Roman excavation just to the south of Hadrian’s Wall at Carlisle. Turn up in person and tours are available (Monday-Saturday) free but donations are welcome. #hadrianswall #archaeology #HadriansWallPath

A blustery day at the Roman Carlisle dig today but more great progress with both 2nd century roads being exposed #hadrianswall #archaeology

A 360° film to show the locations of all the recent excavations on site at the Carlisle cricket club over the past year to give a sense of place as the new summer dig begins. You can see the huge size of the 3rd century Roman building and its associated features #hadrianswall #carlisle #archaeology

A quick intro to the new excavation season at Carlisle cricket club Starts 31st May 2025 #uncoveringromancarlisle #Archaeology #hadrianswall

Looking west from Walltown crags gives the walker a spectacular view of the line of #HadriansWall and in the far distance the summit of Criffel (1867 ft) in Galloway

At last some interesting skies again to photograph as I enter my 60th year. The classic view of Cuddys Crags on #HadriansWall looking east

Exciting times ahead as the Uncovering Roman Carlisle team return to excavate at the Cricket club site on the 31st May for 5 weeks. Pop along and take a free tour (donations welcome) the team are working most days except Sundays. #hadrianswall #archaeology #carlisle

The Roman road between Lowborrowbridge fort and the fort of Bravoniacum at Kirkby Thore in the Eden Valley passes over Coalpit Hill with its solitary tree before dropping down to Blea Beck. The Howgill range of hills form a magnificent backdrop on this lonely stretch of the ancient route.

I took the opportunity during this dry weather to revisit the Roman bridge abutment on the North Tyne close to Chesters Fort #HadriansWall

The view over the bathhouse at #Vindolanda fort today as the beautiful weather continues #archaeology
