What is recorded here

Limestone Corner marks Milecastle 30, a small military checkpoint on the northern border. It is not a grand castle or a public museum. The name records its position in the numbered line of fortifications, while the limestone suggests the local stone used to build it. The place is better imagined as a working military point than a monument designed for admiration.
Milecastle 30 (Limestone Corner) is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Northumberland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
