Turret 55B

Turret 55B (Townhead Croft) (grid reference NY52666433) was located in 1959 following a failed attempt to find it in 1933.[4] It is situated about 40 metres west of Dovecote Bridge.[2]There is no surface trace of the turret visible.[4]

A section of Hadrian's Wall, 1 metre high and 20 metres long, can be seen close to the site of Turret 55B near Dovecote Bridge. It is currently covered by a protective mound of earth to preserve the fragile stonework.[2]
