잘 보존된 성벽 구간과 인근 제방, 망루, 석회 가마가 있는 Hare Hill은 로마 시대의 과거에 대한 훌륭한 통찰력을 제공합니다. River Irthing을 건너는 것과 함께 이 지역은 로마 활동의 진정한 중심지였을 것입니다.

하드리아누스 성벽을 따라 이루어지던 일상적인 통신은 여러 가지 방법으로 전달되었을 것입니다. 일반적으로 상세한 메시지는 말로 전달되었습니다. 그러나 파이크 시그널 타워에서 제공하는 탁 트인 전망을 통해 연기나 간단하고 미리 정해진 코드를 사용하는 봉화로 인접한 망루와도 소통할 수 있었습니다. 그들은 또한 세마포어 메시징 시스템을 사용하여 광선을 이용해 메시지를 전달하는 시스템을 사용했다는 증거가 있습니다. 후자가 어떻게 작동했는지에 대해 알려진 바가 거의 없다는 것은 유감입니다.

글쎄요, 오늘 하드리아누스 성벽 하이킹의 거의 끝에 도착했고 약간의 불운을 겪었습니다. 하드리아누스 성벽에서 가장 좋은 로마 요새 중 하나에 도착했는데, 바람이 너무 강해서 우리를 성벽에서 날려버릴 수 있다는 이유로 문을 닫았다고 들었습니다. 다시 방문할 만한 곳입니다.

Along Lanercost Road near Banks in Cumbria, you'll find the well-preserved remains of Leahill Turret (51B), a Roman watchtower built around 122 AD as part of Hadrian's Wall. The tower was fully excavated and consolidated in 1958 and is still visible today to a height of approximately one meter. Leahill Turret served as a staging post between Milecastles 51 and 52, providing Roman soldiers with a strategic vantage point over the northern border region. Inside, traces of a raised platform against the north wall and a later shelter structure against the south wall are visible, suggesting reuse in the 4th century.

A short climb away lies the remains of the Pike Hill Signal Tower, a 2nd-century Roman watchtower strategically located along Stanegate—the military road that preceded the construction of Hadrian's Wall. The tower was part of a network of signaling posts that allowed Roman troops to quickly communicate between forts and watchtowers. From this vantage point, you have a commanding view of the surrounding landscape. The tower's position, diagonally positioned relative to the Wall, demonstrates the ingenious design of Roman engineers, focused on maximum visibility and military coordination. During the construction of Hadrian's Wall, the tower was integrated between two turrets: 51B and 52A, near the fort of Banna (Birdoswald).

Banks East Turret, also known as Turret 52A, is one of the best-preserved watchtowers along the western section of Hadrian's Wall. Built around 122 AD on the orders of Emperor Hadrian, this tower was part of an ingenious network: two turrets stood between each milecastle, manned by a handful of soldiers who guarded the boundary. The tower is built of stone, even though the wall here was originally turf—a rare example of early Roman engineering. You'll find an impressive section of wall reaching 1.75 meters high at the tower itself. The site offers panoramic views of the southern landscape, while the northern terrain is higher—a strategic yet surprising choice.
