This is the site of Roman turret 45A on Hadrian’s Wall. It survives as consolidated masonry. Excavations date it to the Hadrianic period and occupation ended sometime in the 2nd century AD. Turret 45a was built prior to the Wall and lies about 100 yds. short of the normal distance. The turret is visible on air photographs. The turret walls were consolidated and stand to an average height of 1 metre.
