From the Wikipedia article
Milecastle 36 (King's Hill) was one of the milecastles on Hadrian's Wall (grid reference NY79726931). There is little to see on the ground as most of the walls have been robbed and quarried away.

Background
Description
The site of Milecastle 36 is located on King's Hill, 800 metres northeast of Housesteads Roman Fort. The milecastle was robbed of most of its remaining stone in 1831. Part of the east and west walls are indicated by robber-trenches. The remainder of the milecastle has been destroyed by surface quarrying, and the featureless interior is overlain by Wall tumble.
Visiting
The milecastle, and site of Turret 36A, are both accessible via the Hadrian's Wall Path. The excavated foundations of Turret 36B are within Housesteads Fort, and are only accessible by visitors to this English Heritage site.
