There are also some inward-facing fortifications, because portions of the wall were built on the assumption that raiding parties would also be trying to leave, and they knew they couldn’t block off literally the entire border.

Or maybe Hadrian’s Wall was actually built by a secret mega-empire to defend against Rome…
