Evidence gathered from Poltross Burn and from sections surviving East of the city of Newcastle in the Middle Ages all indicate that the wall was between 12 and 15ft high.
Where did the materials come from to build Hadrian's Wall?
All the materials were sourced locally by the Roman army. Quarries can be found at various pounts along Hadrian's Wall. Lime was also found and prepared as close to the wall as possible.
