Society of Antiquaries Lecture

Tony Willmott, Historic England and Professor Ian Haynes, Newcastle University

This three-year collaborative project between Historic England and Newcastle University explored the eastern, western and northern areas outside the walls of Birdoswald Roman Fort. Along with evidence for zoning and the activities practised outside, an unexpected bonus of the excavations was the discovery of the exceptionally preserved furnace room of the fort bathhouse and evidence of a piped water supply.
