Hadrian's Wall
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadrian's_Wall
Goodrich, Norma Lorre.
King Arthur
New York : F. Watts, 1986.
Page 264
"The great defensive fortification called Hadrian's
Wall was built after 122 and was repaired and
maintained as an offensive military network
until some time in the fourth century. The wall
consists of a stone rampart ten feet high in
spots, running seventy-three miles across
Britain from Wallsend on the east to what was
once the fortress of Bowness on the Solway
Firth at its western end, passing directly
through the present city of Carlisle. On either
side of the wall are ditches and mounds or
steep earthworks. In addition, this chain of
fortifications included turrets, milecastles,
temples, towns, supply depots, barracks,
luxurious officers' quarters, bridges, and
three very large forts, which are, from east
to west, Chesters, Housesteads, and
Birdoswald. The first two have been fully
excavated and are open to the public.
King Arthur's Camlan would have been
fought at the large, western-most fortress
on Hadrian's Wall, the one now called
Birdoswald."
Page 69
"In summary, then, the battles of Arthur
have been identified as follows:
7. Celidon Wood = the Glasgow area
8. Fort Guinnion = Binchester, south
of Hadrian's Wall
9. City of Legion = Carlisle
10. River Tribruit = (a) Stirling or
(b) Carlisle
11. Mount Agned = Edinburgh (or perhaps
High Rochester, north
of Hadrian's Wall)"
---
No sci.archer, except Rab Wilkie 14 years ago,
was even faintly aware that the best evidence
for the historical King Arthur lies in Welsh Annals
such as the Nennius compilations that list his
twelve astonishing victories. Finally these battles
yielded to research, being located for the greater
part in and around the seventeen Roman forts on
Hadrian's Wall, and at Edinburgh, Dumbarton
(Glasgow), Loch Lomond, and Stirling/Bannockburn,
which was and is the key to the defense of Scotland.
(Taken from p. 314 of the Goodrich book.)

You are ignorant of Birdoswald's archaeology?
I can't believe it. |

Peter, he's got you there.
I bet he doesn't know anything much about it though.

No. The supposed battles of Arthur, and Hadrians Wall as such,
are not archaeology.

Leave he 'much' out. |
