Milecastle 10, Roman fortification in Tyne and Wear, England
Milecastle 10 measures 19 meters by 15.5 meters with stone walls reaching 1.75 meters in height along the northern frontier of Roman Britain.
The structure operated until the late 4th century as one of 80 milecastles positioned at regular intervals across Hadrian's Wall to monitor border movements.
Archaeological excavations revealed evidence of military quarters, storage areas, and food preparation spaces that illustrate daily activities of Roman soldiers.
Visitors can reach the site through the Hadrian's Wall Path, which connects multiple historical locations across the ancient Roman frontier.
The site includes two observation turrets, designated A and B, that enhanced communication capabilities between neighboring fortifications along the wall.
