Background
Description
Milecastle 44 is located about 1.5 km west of the Great Chesters fort (Aesica). The milecastle survives as a small number of visible facing stones, and a turf-covered bank. The bank measures 3.5 m wide and 0.9 m high. It is a long-axis type measuring 20.3 m north-south by 17.0 m east-west internally. An excavation was made by trenching around the inner face, but no published report is available. The agger of the road leading to the milecastle from the Military Way is visible, measuring 3.5 m wide and 0.2 m high.

The remains of the milecastle, the site of Turret 44A, and the remains of Turret 44B, are all accessible via the Hadrian's Wall Path
