The wall ditch was only constructed in the areas between the crags which otherwise make a ditch superfluous.
The Wall in this section is in the care of the Secretary of State. Both the north and south face are almost complete with only occasional gaps in the outer face. It reaches a maximum height of 2.8m near Thorny Doors where it is 12 courses high. The Wall is consolidated for 1240m and averages 1.8m to 2.3m in width and 1.2m to 1.6m in height. These may be the product of separate work gangs building up to each other. A number of changes in the thickness of the Wall are evidenced as offsets along this section. The Wall survives well as an upstanding feature throughout the whole of this section, except for where it has been destroyed by Cawfields Quarry in the west. Hadrian’s Wall runs along the crest of Cawfields Crags in this section and commands wide views to the north, south and west. All the upstanding remains of Hadrian’s Wall, the milecastle and turrets in this scheduling are Listed Grade I. The monument includes the section of Hadrian’s Wall and vallum and their associated features between the road to Caw Gap in the east and the Caw Burn in the west.
