EnglandYork has been fortified since Roman times (c. 71 AD), when the city was known as Eboracum [1] [2]. The walls stand approximately 13 feet (4 m) high and 6 feet (1.8 m) wide [1]. Though often called the Roman walls, most surviving stonework dates from later periods, as the original Roman fortifications were substantially altered over centuries [1]. The walls incorporate several historic bars (gates) and remain a prominent feature of York's cityscape [1] [3].
