Intrepid Geocachers can divert off the much walked Hadrian's Wall path and find themselves an exciting Geocache, within the vicinity of a less well known temporary Roman Camp where Roman soldiers rested during military campaigning, and possibly even during the construction of the Wall itself.
The Geocache site is a well-preserved and nationally important example of this type of camp, featuring a series of upstanding earthworks and buried ditches. It is one of around 40 temporary camps recorded in the vicinity of the Wall which consisted of a rampart of earth which was quickly thrown up to provide overnight security to troops on the move.
This Geocache allows finders to trade replice Roman coins for their own treasure!
