Over three years, seven sites were subject to archaeological survey and excavation (whilst a watching brief took place during consolidation work at a further three), the detailed discussion of which forms the book's six central chapters. With the exception of Corbridge, the focus is on the frontier's linear elements: the Vallum at Heddon, the Wall-crossing at Cam Beck, and the curtain at Thirlwall, Drumburgh, Port Carlisle, and Walltown Crags.
