Milecastle 25 was milecastle of the Roman Hadrian's Wall. Its remains exist as a raised platform of earthwork, up to 1 metre (3.3 ft) high in places, with a ditch to the south, and are located just short of the Wall's 19th milestone in the county of Northumberland, United Kingdom. (Any other very general remarks about the milecastle, especially how it relates to others). The Military Way and north mound of the Vallum have been traced as far as a point just to the west of Milecastle 25[1]
Construction[edit]
Milecastle 25 was possibly a long-axis milecastle.[2] Such milecastles were thought to have been constructed by the legio II Augusta/VI Victrix/XX Valeria Victrix who were based in Isca Augusta/Eboracum/Deva Victrix (Caerleon/York/Chester).[3] Ref to other similar MCs where appropriate. There is no indication of a road serving the Milecastle.
The milecastle had an east-west width of 70 feet (21 m) with side walls approximately 10 feet (3.0 m) deep.[2]internal/external dimensions of . . . .

Associated Turrets[edit]
Each milecastle on Hadrian's Wall had two associated turret structures. These turrets were positioned approximately one-third and two-thirds of a Roman mile to the west of the Milecastle, and would probably have been manned by part of the milecastle's garrison. The turrets associated with Milecastle 25 are known as Turret 25A and Turret 25B.
Turret 25A[edit]
Turret 25A has only been given an approximate location and excavation work carried out has failed to uncover any positive evidence of the structure's existence. A 1930 excavation found a small mound that could have been a pile of materials built up during construction of the turret.[4]
