Hadrian’s Wall and its Trees

''Bringing the story full circle, the felling of the Sycamore Gap tree also features in Hadrian''s Wall and Its Trees with a report on the trial of the two men who were found guilty of the act, and an overview of dendrochronological work carried out on the tree by the Digital Humanities Lab at Exeter University. In case you were asking, it was 100-120 years old (CA 428), but the story of trees on Rome''s northern frontier stretches back across almost two millennia.'' – Current Archaeology (2025): Issue 431

A richly illustrated celebration of the trees that line Hadrian’s Wall, exploring their role in Roman life, art, and modern conservation. Scholars and artists reveal how wood and woodland have shaped this remarkable frontier — and how its trees continue to inspire today.
