What is recorded here
Mile Castle 56 marks a small military post on the northern border of Cumberland. It may have watched a road, counted wheels, or called for help when darkness brought danger. The number suggests distance rather than greatness, yet distance is the measure of every long journey.
Mile Castle 56 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.
