The Knag Burn Gateway is a gateway which was built into Hadrian's Wall some time after construction of the wall itself, generally acknowledged to be during the fourth century.[1]
Knag Burn Gateway is located at the point where Hadrian's Wall crosses the Knag Burn, just to the east of Housesteads, between the fort and Turret 36B. The burn itself passes beneath the wall via a culvert a few metres to the West of the gateway.
