We can't quite believe it, but today is the last day of WallCAP! š
The WallGIS, project books & reports will be published & become available to all in the coming months. Details/dates will be posted here when we have them.
Thank you for all the support of the project!!

After almost 4 years, the WallCAP project is coming to an end.
It has been an absolutely fantastic 4 years, and we have studied, explored and learned more about every inch of Hadrian's Wall, from its stones to what remains in the ground, and have helped preserve it for the future.
We could not have done it without our dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers, so thank you so much to every one of you who has given time to the project!
Thank you as well to the National Lottery Heritage Funs and Newcastle University for their support of the project, and to all our partners along the Wall.
The WallCAP Team
We are super excited to let you know that the WallCAP WallGIS is now available on @ADS_Update! Every feature of Hadrianās Wall has a record in the WallGIS with detailed info & spatial data, which can all be searched/viewed online! #Archaeologyarchaeologydataservice.ac.ukā¦

The Stone Sourcing & Dispersal (aka geology strand) archive is also on @ADS_Update, including various guides to investigating, describing & identifying Wall stones, & a spreadsheet of Roman stone measurements taken by WallCAP volunteers.

#Archaeology lovers: below you can see the panel recently placed at the site of the ancient #Roman Coria, a stone's throw from #HadriansWall, featuring my reconstruction of the main road bustling with people with each building matching the remains found by archaeological surveys!
From Pons Aelius to Eboracum for the @archaeologyuk Archaeology Awards! We received a Commendation, but lost ... to Carlisle! So a great victory for #HadriansWall, and congrats to Uncovering Roman Carlisle!
An information panel highlighting what was uncovered by WallCAP volunteers during our excavations is now up in the playing field north of the Corbridge Roman town site!
As always, great to work with Sign and Design, Hexham. Got our new panel up in the playing field opposite Corbridge site @VisitCorbridge@EnglishHeritage. Thanks for the reconstruction drawing @Wall_CAP !
