The Cawfields Milecastle (42) was one of the 81 milecastles along the length of Hadrian's Wall. These guardposts (or fortlets) were built at intervals of one Roman mile to control movement across the Wall. This milecastle at Cawfields clings to the hillside within a spectacular stretch of landscape.
