Associated Towers[edit]
Each milefortlet had two associated towers, similar in constuction to the turrets built along Hadrian's Wall. These towers were positioned approximately one-third and two-thirds of a Roman mile to the west of the Milefortlet, and would probably have been manned by part of the nearest Milefortlet's garrison. The towers associated with Milefortlet X are known as Tower XA and Tower XB.
