Milecastle 48 Milecastle 48 ( The King ' s Stables ) , one of the milecastle s on Hadrian ' s Wall , is situated just outside the village of Gilsland in Cumbria immediately adjacent to the Tyne Valley Line ( OS grid reference NY63406620 ) . It has been known locally as " The King ' s Stables " for over 100 years but recently the heritage industry has begun to call it Poltross Burn Milecastle . The milecastle measures 18 . 5m east to west by 21 . 3m north to south , substantially larger than many other milecastles . Two rows of buildings are visible within , probably barracks , one either side of the north - south road running through the gateways . Interior buildings are not normally so well - preserved or substantial in other milecastles and it is remarkable that local people , " mining " the milecastle for building stone in the past , may have recognised the layout as similar to stable - blocks . The walls are broad gauge , including stub ' wing wall s ' which connect with the Narrow Wall curtain of Hadrian ' s Wall on either side . It has Type III gateways and lies 1521m west of Milecastle 47 and 1458m east of Milecastle 49 . An interesting feature of this milecastle is the survival of a substantial part of the flight of stairs giving access to the ramparts of Hadrian ' s Wall in the north - east corner , allowing a wall - walk height of 3 . 6m to be projected and suggesting a height for the curtain wall ( including parapet ) of around 4 . 6m . Milecastle 48 was excavated in 1909 by J . P . Gibson and F . G . Simpson . The monument is currently in the care of English Heritage . This milecastle was built by the Sixth Legion but manned by auxiliary troops , and was occupied until the Fourth Century AD , according to the English Heritage placard at the site .
