Milecastle 18

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Milecastle 18 is one of the milecastle forts along Hadrian's Wall, in northern England.(Bruce, 1957) Excavations slightly to the west toward Vallum farm have revealed near surface presence of cobbles and sandstone, giving likely evidence of plough damaged an ancient roadway approach to the south gate of the Milecastle 18 fort.
