HADRIAN'S WALL MILECASTLE 14 (MARCH BURN), NORTHUMBERLAND: INTERIM REPORT ON ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVALUATION, SEPTEMBER 2000
Author(s): Helen Moore, Tony Wilmott
Milecastle 14 is one of thirteen of these installations on Hadrian's Wall under regular or intermittent ploughing. Field evaluation was carried out on these milecastles in 1999-2000.Milecastle 14 was sampled by Stevens in 1946. The trench excavated in 2000 confirmed that the milecastle was of short axis type, and established the state of preservation of the milecastle. The outer wall and the walls of an internal building were all heavily robbed, with only the mortar and rubble core surviving. Interior rubble surfaces were heavily scored by the plough, but part of the wall of a post-Roman stone building, possibly a field barn, was found surviving above the Roman deposits.
