Description: | The Roman turret was located in 1927 and found to be an independent structure abutting the Wall. The 1958 excavations (see auth 5) found that the internal measurements of the turret were 13 feet 8 inches N-S by 14 feet 6 inches E-W. There were slight remains of the turf turret to the E and W of the stone structure which had been overlaid by occupation material. The stone turret had been much robbed surviving to a maximum height of 9 courses; a platform was found in the centre of the N wall. The turret is now consolidated and under guardianship with a maximum height of 1.1m. It is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1972. | Subjects: | Defence Turret | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | National Monuments Record | Identifier: | http://pastscape.english-heritage.org.uk... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
