Water Tanks, Drainage and Wells, Vindolanda Roman Fort, Hadrian’s Wall, Northumberland, 22.12.18.

Perhaps an unusual set of photos but it is clear that drainage meant a lot to those who lived at Vindolanda, particularly as the site is quite water logged and close to a river.

The site sits on a natural hill and drainage runs through the fort and vicus. Significantly the altar for Vindolanda was found located near the main water tank and fountain. The last image is of a reconstructed drain to the military bathhouse.
