Hob Uid: 22659
Location : Newcastle upon Tyne Non Civil Parish

More information : NZ 1834 6611. Turret 8b (GSC) (Site of) (T.I.) (1) This is situated 532 yards from turret 8a and 548 yards from milecastle 9. The modern road was slightly further north and the south wall could be examined. It was two courses high and 19 feet 10 inches long, with a doorway in the normal position. (2) No visible remains. The site is now completely covered by a modern road. (3) The turret was located 558 yards from Chapel House milecastle `below the modern S wall of the roadway in their normal positions' (4a). The turret was located 557 yards from Chapel House milecastle (4b).
