WALL-TOWN, a township in the parish of HALTWHISTLE, western division of TINDALE ward, county of NORTHUMBERLAND, 3 miles (N.W. by W.) from Haltwhistle, containing 109 inhabitants. The Roman wall passed through the village; and in this township were the stations, Vindolana, now called Little Chesters, and JEsica, called Great Chesters; the ramparts of which, particularly the latter, where there are also considerable traces of a town, are in a better state of preservation than those of any other on the whole line of the wall. Roman baths, altars, tombstones, inscriptions, curious pieces of sculpture, and numerous other relics of antiquity, have been found in both; and in a neighbouring hill, called Chapel-Steads, many urns have been discovered. Near the military road connecting the two stations are tumuli, termed the "Four Lawes;" and, on an adjoining hill, a rude monument of three large stones, vulgarly called the "Mare and Foals." Part of the ruins of a castellated mansion, formerly the residence of the RidleyS, has been removed for building a modern seat, and the remainder has been converted into a farm-house.
