Wark in Tyndale Castle
Wark in Tyndale Castle was a medieval building in the English county of Northumberland. It was first mentioned in 1399–1400, but a motte and bailey castle occupied the site since the 12th century.
Milecastle 28
Milecastle 28 (Walwick) was a milecastle of the Roman Hadrian's Wall in England. No remains are currently visible. Its location is immediately to the south of the B6318 Military Road in Walwick.
Milecastle 29
Milecastle 29 (Tower Tye) was a milecastle of the Roman Hadrian's Wall. Its remains exist as a mutilated earth platform accentuated by deep robber-trenches around all sides, and are located beside the B6318 Military Road. Like Milecastles 9, 23, 25, and 51, a ditch has been identified around the Milecastle, and is still visible to a small extent. It has been postulated that this was as a result of the need for drainage on the site.
Milecastle 30
Milecastle 30 (Limestone Corner) was a milecastle of the Roman Hadrian's Wall. Its remains exist as an outward-facing scarp with a maximum height of 0.8 metres . Masonary from the east wall (both faces) remains in situ. The remaining stretch is 3.1 metres in length by 2.25 metres thick, and survives to a height of 0.6 metres . It is located at the western part of Limestone Corner, just off the B6318 Military Road.
Limestone Corner
Limestone Corner is an area of Hadrian's Wall (and associated defenses) at its most northerly point, in present-day Great Britain. It represents the most northerly point of the Roman Empire, outside the two periods during which the Antonine Wall was occupied by the Roman military. Other notable features at Limestone Corner are the wall ditch at this point, which was never completely excavated, a Roman camp and the site of Milecastle 30. Also present is a trig point.
Milecastle 31
Milecastle 31 (Carrawburgh) was a milecastle of the Roman Hadrian's Wall. Its remains exist as a turf covered platform beside (and partially covered by) the B6318 Military Road, just to the east of Carrawburgh fort (adjoining the car park).
