What is almost certainly the longest footnote in history: 173 pages about Hadrian's wall, going into detail to prove that it is in fact Hadrian's wall, not Severus'.
The author made it a footnote because he considered it off topic for the detailed history of Northumberland he was writing, but wanted to get it into print before he died.
