What is recorded here
Mile 64 keeps a broken stone ridge and a buried earth bank between the motorway and Drawdykes Castle. The vallum is not a showpiece; it is a boundary marker that still divides speed, memory and land.
The National Heritage List for England records Hadrian's Wall vallum between the M6 motorway and Drawdykes Castle in wall mile 64 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 Romans under Emperor Hadrian in the early 2nd century AD, the vallum is a large earthwork parallel to Hadrian's Wall, serving as a defensive barrier and symbol of Roman military engineering. It is important as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and provides insight into Roman frontier strategy.
