Taking the path at Vindolanda down the (actually pretty steep) hill on the way to the museum you come to a memorial dedicated to the legionnaries who served there from AD (aka CE) 85-400:-
At the bottom of the hill is a steam crossed by a lovely stone bridge (though as I recall the path over to the museum is by a more modern bridge lower to the water):-
The view in the other direction shows a reconstructed temple. The inscription reads Nymphis Sacrum Vicani Vindolandes (The Nymphs of the Sacred Village of Vindoland):-
And slightly further up the bank there there is a globe sculpture:-
Behind the viewpoint of the previous picture are these replica carved stones:-
