Milecastle 19, Roman military fortification on Hadrian's Wall, England
The rectangular milecastle structure measures 19 meters by 15.5 meters, with stone walls reaching heights of 1.75 meters along its perimeter.
Built in the 2nd century AD, Milecastle 19 operated until the late 4th century and underwent substantial excavations between 1982 and 1987.
The milecastle contained a stone oven and rectangular building with sunken floor, indicating the daily activities of Roman soldiers stationed at this frontier post.
Two associated turret structures, Turret 19A and Turret 19B, positioned at intervals along Hadrian's Wall, can be accessed via the Hadrian's Wall Path.
Archaeological evidence reveals that Turret 19A, after its abandonment at the end of the 2nd century, transformed into a burial site.
