MenuVindolanda, Northumberland
Vindolanda was a Roman auxiliary fort (castrum) just south of Hadrians Wall in Northumberland. Archaeological excavations of the site show it was under Roman occupation from roughly AD 85 to 370 and as such it pre-dates Hadrians Wall. It guarded the Stanegate, the Roman road from the River Tyne to the Solway Firth. It is noted for the Vindolanda tablets, a set of wooden leaf-tablets that were at the time of their discovery, the oldest surviving handwritten documents in Britain. It is within the council area of Northumberland.
