History
Whiteside lies near the course of Hadrian's Wall, one of the most significant Roman monuments in Britain. The Wall was constructed in 122 AD. The extent of Hadrian's Wall is 117 kilometres, spanning the width of Britain; the wall incorporated Agricola's Ditch and was constructed 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 Whiteside. The wall was designed primarily to prevent raids by small Pictish bands or unwanted immigration from the north, not as a fighting line for a major invasion.
