Wery Wall)
II
Fragment of masonry from C4 fort. Sandstone rubble. An
irregular mass of masonry, standing approx 2m high above the
upper ground level, and built into the edge of a steep slope
which runs parallel with the River Lune.
HISTORY: the Wery Wall is mentioned as a boundary in documents
dating from C11 to C18, when its remains may have been more
extensive. Its Roman origins were confirmed by excavations
carried out in the early 1970s in advance of the adjacent
Mitre House development. It probably formed the core of a
polygonal external bastion at the north angle of a fort of the
'Saxon Shore' type which was constructed about AD 330 on a new
alignment. The associated ditch cut through an earlier bath
house which was also excavated, and its consolidated remains
are now exposed and adjoin the Wery Wall.
