HADRIAN'S WALL MILECASTLES 69 (SOURMILK BRIDGE) AND 70 (BRAELEES), CUMBRIA: INTERIM REPORT ON ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVALUATION, SEPTEMBER 2000
Author(s): Tony Wilmott
Milecastles 69 and 70 are two 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. Neither milecastle has been located in the field, and two possible locations for 69 have been postulated. Geophysical survey on the two proposed sites of milecastle 69 and the measured site of milecastle 70 failed to locate the milecastles, probably because they had been totally robbed. Trenching on the measured location of 69 picked up part of the southern face of Hadrian's Wall.
