Milecastle 1 (Stott's Pow) was a milecastle of the Roman Hadrian's Wall. It was located near the (now disappeared) valley of Stott's Pow. Its remains are covered over, and are located beneath the recreation ground at Miller's Dene. [1] Early excavations and investigations of Turret 0B were mistakenly interpreted as Milecastle 1. [2] The Milecastle sits within the parish of Wallsend. [3]
Milecastle 1 was a short-axis milecastle of unknown gateway type. Short-axis milecastles were thought to have been constructed by the legio II Augusta who were based in Isca Augusta ( Caerleon). [4]
Milecastle 1 Easting and Northing:
Easting: 360162
Northing: 563796 [5]
Milecastle 1 English Heritage number: 1003507. [6]
On the top of the rise about 80 yds from the brook (Stott's Pow) is the site of the first milecastle. The ground is under tillage, but its slightly elevated surface, (has a) number of small stones... sprinkled over it...
The site falls in landscaped gardens surrounding a bowling green and there is no trace of the Milecastle.
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 1 are known as Turret 1A and Turret 1B.
