The 'Clayton Wall' was preserved with a stone north face and stone south face. The void was filled with soil and rubble and a grass capping was applied. It can be unstable, please keep off the Wall as it can be prone to collapse. Sign in Wall mile 36, at the west end of Housesteads Wood, asking visitors to please keep off the Wall.
