Milecastle 30, Roman fortification on Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland, England.
Milecastle 30 contains remaining walls reaching 0.8 meters in height with a preserved eastern section measuring 3.1 meters in length and 2.25 meters in thickness.
The structure was constructed by either the Sixth Legion Victrix or the Twentieth Legion Valeria Victrix as part of the Roman frontier defense system in Britain.
This fortification demonstrates Roman military engineering through its long-axis design, featuring two gateways and barracks that accommodated between twenty and thirty auxiliary soldiers.
Visitors can view the milecastle remains from the Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail, which runs adjacent to the structure near the B6318 Military Road.
The milecastle's position at Limestone Corner reveals a construction measuring 65.5 feet from north to south, with evidence of both narrow and broad gauge wall foundations.
