Milecastle 9

Turret 9B[edit]

Turret 9B (Walbottle) is also located under a modern road (Hawthorn Terrace) near the west end of St. Cuthbert’s Primary School. Although surface remains are now obscured by the road,^[13] 19 feet (5.8 m) of Turret 9B'ssouth wall was located in 1928, under a hedge to the north of the road. The precise position is a matter of dispute with the excavation report placing it 545 yards (498 m) east of Milecastle 10 whilst another source gives the distance as 570 yards (520 m),^[13] however it was recorded that it was built using the same substantial masonry as Turret 7B, with the door in the same position.^[4]
