More information : (NY 9031 7054) Milecastle 28 (GSC) (site of) (TI) (1) Just before reaching Walwick Hall from Chesters, where the road swings to the left, off the line of the Wall, is the site of Milecastle 28. Only a platform is now seen, indicating a long-axis milecastle, just west of the farm track leaving the road to the south. (2) The milecastle could not be positively identified, but a slight scarp at NY 9035 7050 may represent its S. side. Surveyed at 1:2500. (3) There is no evidence for the milecastle at the Ordnance Survey siting symbol (1); the scarp at NY 9035 7049 seen by Smith (3) [OS 1:2500 map] looks early modern and is too far south of the Wall. The milecastle was not located precisely, but from measurements must have been situated in the general area of NY 903 705.
