What is recorded here

Carraw marks the thirty-second milecastle on the wall in Northumberland. The number is not decorative; it measures the distance and identifies the gap in the defensible line. A soldier could read the name and know how far he stood from the next post, the previous post, and the command that owned the whole length.

Milecastle 32 (Carraw) 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.
