Mile Castle 55

Archaeological place

What is recorded here

Mile Castle 55 stands in Cumberland, England, a small military marker on a long border line. It may have watched for trouble, sent messages, or simply counted distance along a road that no longer exists. The number fifty-five suggests a sequence, a chain of places stretching across country. What is certain is that the location still exists, marked and remembered, while the lives that gave it purpose have faded from view.
Mile Castle 55 is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Cumberland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
