Fence on Hadrian's Wall, designed to deter barbaric invaders from walking along the wall?

The path does take you along the top of the wall for several hundred metres here, but either end of the designated section is blocked - presumably to protect more fragile sections of the wall. 📷

Small relief depicting three spirits wearing hooded cloaks (genii cucullati) from a building that formed part of the vicus at Housesteads Roman Fort on Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland. On display in the site museum. 📸 My own. #ReliefWednesday #RomanBritain #Housesteads

Housesteads Fort, seen along the path from the cafe. The pay/display car park is covered by an annual National Park pass, and even if you didn't have an English Heritage card, you can still walk around the outside of the fort onto the Hadrian's Wall path. 📷

View from Housesteads towards Sewingshields this afternoon. Another shot with my 20mm Viltrox, this time with a 1/8 black mist filter... it's quite subtle. 📷 (Is "analoguiness" an actual word? Because I was feeling that it adds a touch of that.)
