What is recorded here

Bowness on Solway marks wall mile 80, the western edge of Hadrian's Wall, where a Roman fort, civil settlement and later medieval tower house overlap on the Solway coast. The place is a scheduled monument in Cumberland, England, preserved because layers of military and domestic life still lie beneath it. Listing protects the remains; it does not guarantee entry, so the coast keeps its own rules about who may walk across them.

The National Heritage List for England records The Roman fort and associated civil settlement and a medieval tower house at Bowness on Solway at the west end of Hadrian's Wall in wall mile 80 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.

The Roman fort at Bowness on Solway was built by the Romans in the 2nd century AD as part of Hadrian's Wall, serving as a military outpost and administrative center. It is important as a key archaeological site illustrating Roman military and civilian life in northern Britain.
