What is recorded here

Coombe Crag still casts its shadow across wall miles 50 and 51, where Hadrian's Wall and vallum beneath the fields remain a scheduled monument in Cumberland. The stone line marked a bitter edge of empire, yet the vallum behind it suggests a crowded, noisy camp rather than a quiet border. Men may have walked that stretch for decades, watching the crag and listening for trouble in the dark.

The National Heritage List for England records Hadrian's Wall and vallum between the field boundaries east of milecastle 50 and the boundary west of Coombe Crag in wall miles 50 and 51 as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Built by the Roman Empire under Emperor Hadrian's orders, this section of Hadrian's Wall and vallum dates to the early 2nd century AD. It is important as part of the extensive defensive structure that marked the northern frontier of Roman Britain.
