This wall was built by incorporating Agricola's Ditch and was made chiefly of stone in the eastern reaches [ [http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=18177 C.Michael Hogan (2007) "Hadrian's Wall", ed. A. Burnham, The Megalithic Portal] ] such as at Henshaw. The wall was intended primarily to prevent raids by small Pictish bands or unwanted immigration from the north, not as a fighting line for a major invasion.
