Edmond Castle is a nineteenth century structure north of the village of Hayton, Cumbria in England. [ [http://www.visitcumbria.com/car/edmondcastle.htm Edmond Castle, Hayton, Cumbria] ] The history of Edmond castle is intertwined with the Graham family. [ [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/nra/searches/subjectView.asp?ID=F11190 National Archives: Graham Castle] ] The local area is rich with early history of the Romans in Britannia, as witnessed by the proximity of Hadrian's Wall a few kilometres to the north. This wall forms the earliest recorded history of the vicinity. The length of Hadrian's Wall is approximately 117 kilometres, spanning the width of Britain; the wall incorporated Agricola's Ditch [ [http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=18177 C.Michael Hogan (2007) "Hadrian's Wall", ed. A. Burnham, The Megalithic Portal] ] and was constructed chiefly to prevent harrying of settled Britannia by small bands of raiders and entrance of unwanted immigrants from the north, rather than as a fighting front to defend a major invasion.
