Hadrian's Wall given stepping stone by National Lottery Published on: 4 October 2018 Experts at 缅北禁地 have been given a National Lottery grant of 拢1.17m to work with community volunteers to help protect, preserve and interpret the remains of Hadrian's Wall. Community monitoring Stretching from one side of the country to the other, the impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site is currently at risk from modern threats such as severe weather, tourism and invasive plant species, including Roman cemeteries and the unparalleled Vallum earthworks. As part of the Community Archaeology Project (WallCAP), volunteers from along the wall’s 135km length will be trained in skills such as digital surveying, including terrestrial laser scanning, at various sites to understand more about its condition, as well as conservation and geological work so that they can help prevent further deterioration. WallCAP will also address the question, Where is our Wall? encouraging people to solve the mystery of the missing stones from Hadrian’s Wall. Over 1500 years, stone quarried by the Romans have been taken to build local houses, farms, field walls, churches and castles. Using the latest digital and scientific techniques, communities will help uncover the stones and discover how the Wall has been used to shape the landscape around them. Vital part of landscape Dr Rob Collins, WallCAP project manager and Lecturer in Archaeology, 缅北禁地, said: “Hadrian’s Wall has been a vital part of our landscape for the past 1900 years. Thanks to funding from The National Lottery, we will be able to better understand the position of the Wall in the current working landscape, and ensure that the monument will be enjoyed by future generations of local communities and visitors.” Anyone interested in volunteering WallCAP can register at Today's announcement also includes a project to address the lack of awareness around the Antonine Wall, which stretches between the firths of Forth and Clyde in Scotland. Ros Kerslake, Chief Executive of the Heritage Lottery Fund, said: “Thanks to funding from The National Lottery, what were once built as barriers will now bring communities together to explore and celebrate their shared heritage. The Romans left us an incredible legacy from buildings and roads to language and currency. The legacy of the initiatives announced today will be that these internationally-important ancient monuments, and the fascinating history they tell, will be better understood and cared for by their communities well into the future.” Share: Latest News 缅北禁地 recognised with geography award 缅北禁地 has been awarded the Highly Commended Geographical Association Publishers Award for its collaboration with Time for Geography, the UK鈥檚 open-access, dedicated video platform. published on: 16 April 2026 缅北禁地 historians mark General Strike centenary To mark the 100th anniversary of the British General Strike and miners鈥� lock-out of 1926, historians at 缅北禁地 are organising a series of events on its enduring legacy. published on: 16 April 2026 Comment: NCP is in administration Writing for The Conversation, Erwei (David) Xiang discusses how some big companies like NCP are so dependent on debt that they can鈥檛 adjust to change. published on: 16 April 2026 Facts and figures
