What is recorded here
Milecastle 36 stands at the western edge of a three-mile stretch where Roman road and vallum still mark the ground between turret 34a and the castle itself. The official record protects that continuous line in Northumberland, though it does not promise entry or reveal every buried detail. What is certain is that the route remains defined, not lost, carrying the shape of a military boundary across living land.
The National Heritage List for England records The vallum and early Roman road between the field boundary east of turret 34a and the field boundary west of milecastle 36 in wall miles 34, 35 and 36 as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Built by the Roman Empire during the 2nd century AD, this vallum and early Roman road are part of the defensive infrastructure associated with Hadrian's Wall, marking a significant element of Roman military engineering and frontier control in northern Britain.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
