What is recorded here

Turret 34a and milecastle 36 mark a short stretch of Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland where the boundary crossed open fields. The stones have watched weather, feet and forgotten lives for centuries. They remain a scheduled monument, not a display cabinet, because the wall itself still speaks through what it excluded and what it held together.

The National Heritage List for England records Hadrian's Wall and associated features between the boundary east of turret 34a and the field boundary west of milecastle 36 in wall miles 34, 35 and 36 as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Built by the Roman Empire under the orders of Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, this section of Hadrian's Wall is important as a key element of the defensive frontier of Roman Britain, reflecting the engineering and military capabilities of the Roman army.
