Annotations

Remains of a wall, rooftiles, structural nails, pottery and glass were found here. One of the rooftiles carried the imprint of a hand, likely the trademark of the builder. Since Roman times, the road to Scotland has crossed the River Greta before climbing the Stainmore Pass to Carlisle1.
