Description


Milecastle 33

Turret 33B (Coesike) is located approximately 150 metres (490 ft) west of the point where the wall line and the B6318 Military Road diverge. It has been exposed, and consolidated to a maximum height of 1.1 metres (3 ft 7 in).[6] In plan, the turret has an entrance to the east end of the south wall, with a platform in the south-west corner, and a hearth at the centre.[3] The walls are 0.9 metres (2 ft 11 in) thick.[6] It was built with broad wing walls of Standard A, which join to a narrow gauge wall at this reach.[3] Material used for the blocking of the rear recess mentioned below included an inscribed stone naming the legio VI Victrix. This suggests that this legion were responsible for the original construction.[3]
