The figure of 120 years is based on a recent examination of all the finds from 18 sections. The t.p.q. for the rampart is a.d. 150, while that for the wall is a.d. 270.
[3] See Antiq. J., XLI–XLIV, for interim reports. The t.p.q. for the early rampart is provided by Hadrianic-Antonine pottery, and for the stone wall by a large group of pottery containing late Antonine and early 3rd-century pieces (notably Gillam Types 226, 314, Arch. Ael., 4, XXXV, 1–72). Eight sections have now been cut across the defences.
