Description


Site of Milecastle 27

Turret 27A[edit]

Turret 27A was demolished soon after construction to allow the construction of Cilurnum (Chesters Roman Fort). Therefore, only its foundations exist, underlying the remains of the fort. They are located immediately to the east of the northwest corner of the fort's principia (headquarters block). The foundations measured 3.36 metres (11.0 ft) square.[4] The remaining foundations consist of a single layer of clay and massive cobbles.[5]
