Hadrian's Wall: Life on the Frontier

Ben Robinson flies over Hadrian's Wall to reveal a new view of its history. The first full aerial survey of the construction has helped uncover new evidence about those who once resided there. Carried out over the past few years by English Heritage, it is allowing archaeologists to reinterpret the fortification as hundreds of sites of human occupation have been discovered, showing that people were living there in considerable numbers
