Description: | Excavation of a barrack at Arbeia Roman Fort. The outer wall of one of the third-century barracks (similar to the one reconstructed on the site) was found collapsed across the street outside the front of the building (foot of wall to left). The height of the collapsed wall is over two metres. From this evidence we know that the outer walls of the barracks, even though they are only clay bonded, stood to full height in stone. Before, it was believed that timber walls could have rested on the stone foundations. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.britisharchaeology.450940 | Go to resource |
