What is recorded here
Milecastle 77 marked a distance along a border in Cumberland, though no intact wall or gate remains visible at the point. It is an absence with a number, a place where measurement replaced memory. Any person who walked past it forgot the marker within a mile, which is exactly what a milecastle demanded.
Milecastle 77 (site of) 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.
