What is recorded here

Wall Fell still holds the twenty-fourth milecastle, a small stone break in the great northern line. It marked distance for soldiers walking the endless moor, giving the wall one more measurable joint. The fell exposes that marker to weather and memory, keeping the military grid alive long after the people who used it disappeared.
Milecastle 24 (Wall Fell) 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.
