Background
Architecture
Milecastle 13 was a short-axis milecastle and the north gateway has been identified as Type I. Such milecastles were thought to have been constructed by the legio II Augusta who were based in Isca Augusta (Caerleon). The milecastle measured 15.24 m × 17.91 m with narrow side walls having a thickness of 2.34 m. The threshold of the north gate was unworn, and raised 23 cm. One stone remained, which could have acted as a third threshold, or part of a later narrowing of the gateway.
