Milecastle 0, Roman fortification in Wallsend, United Kingdom.
The rectangular stone structure incorporated thick walls measuring three meters wide and entrance gates positioned on both northern and southern sides.
Built during Emperor Hadrian's reign in the second century, this fortification marked the eastern starting point of the Roman defensive wall system.
The milecastle design reflects Roman military engineering principles with standardized measurements and construction techniques used throughout the frontier system.
Modern visitors can reach the location near Segedunum Roman Fort by following the Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail from Newcastle upon Tyne.
This theoretical milecastle zero position indicates the beginning point of the wall's measuring system, though no physical evidence confirms its existence.
