The WallGIS archive primarily consists of a geodatabase which holds descriptive information, spatial data, and many attribute options capturing the characteristics of Hadrian's Wall and its features. Each individual feature (turret, milecastle, fort, and linear mile of curtain, ditch, and Vallum) that makes up the monumental complex has a record in the WallGIS.
