What is recorded here

Stanley sits in Northumberland, marked only as Milecastle 23 on the public map. The numbers suggest a measured line, perhaps a road or boundary stretching through landscape now forgotten. A person may have stood there, counted paces or watched carts pass. The name preserves that much of the distance without claiming more than it knows.
Milecastle 23 (Stanley) 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.
