Bowness on Solway Roman Fort (site of)Bowness on Solway marks the western terminus of Hadrian's Wall, and the site was originally occupied by the eightieth milecastle. The milecastle was built of turf and timber, and when the Wall nearby was replaced in stone, the milecastle was demolished and replaced by a timber-built fort, which was itself rebuilt in stone at a later date.Although the fort was the second-largest on the entire Wall, nothing remains to be seen today.
