| Description | This section of Hadrian's Wall was included on the Heritage At Risk register 2020, as it had minor localised problems. These minor problems included a recent collapse of the south facing courses of the Clayton Wall at Cat Stairs, and a further failure of the Wall's south face at Peel Gap in the Peel Bothy field. A watching brief was carried out by WallCAP staff while Heritage Consolidation undertook repairs of the collapsed sections of the Wall, as well as completing consolidation and reprofiling of a section of the Wall that is often walked on by visitors with turf and stones to deter visitors from climbing on to the Wall. The work was undertaken in October and November 2020. |
