Later, large forts shaped like playing cards were also built at intervals along the Wall. Sections of the Wall are preserved (though not at the original height of around 20ft), and forts like Housesteads, Chesters and Birdoswald are some of the most outstanding visible remains of the Roman Empire. The name of the last battle that King Arthur (allegedly) fought , Camlann, may derive from Camboglanna, one of the Roman fort names on the western part of the Wall.
