    The museum houses many fascinating artifacts.


    Shoes in various sizes. The nature of the mud they were found in has preserved these treasures in excellent condition. Hard to grasp they are 2000 years old.


    Some of the Jewellery looks as though it was made yesterday. Some beautiful things on display too. The picture doesn't capture it fully.


    Storage jars.


    A grave stone.


    This skull has been anylised and dated and it comes from a person with ethnic root in the southwest of Scotland. It was found near to one of the gates and is believed to have been mounted on a pole. A stark warning to locals not to mess with the Blokes inside.

    There is also a reconstruction of a part of the wall and watchtower (milecastle) in both it's wooden and Stone forms. These were built and added to at various times.




    Milecastle and wall (reconstructed)


    Wooden watchtower (reconstruction of earlier fortifications)


    The Kilt drew lots of admiring glances and a few good compliments.
