[edit]I've removed the following.
The [[human settlement|settlement]] of Fourstones is located several kilometres/miles distant from the ancient course of [[Hadrian's Wall]], one of the most significant Roman monuments in [[Great Britain|Britain]]. Hadrian's Wall was constructed in AD 122. The extent of Hadrian's Wall is {{convert|117|km}}, spanning the width of Britain; the wall incorporated [[Agricola]]'s Ditch and was constructed mainly of stone in the eastern reaches.<ref>[http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=18177 C. Michael Hogan (2007) ''Hadrian's Wall'', The Megalithic Portal, editor A.
