Milecastle 4, Roman fortification in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
Milecastle 4 measures 14.9 meters wide by 18 meters long, with a south wall spanning 2.7 meters in width connected with clay materials.
Archaeological excavations in 1929 and 1930 revealed Roman pottery at 1440 meters along the wall line from Milecastle 3, identifying the location of Milecastle 4.
The structure represents part of the 80 milecastles built along Hadrian's Wall, marking Roman military planning and frontier management in ancient Britain.
The remains of Milecastle 4 lie beneath the Newcastle Arts Centre at 67-75 Westgate Road, making it accessible for historical research.
The location deviates from its theoretical position between Turrets 4A and 4B, suggesting a need to revise the numbering system in this section.
