{- per boarshill on HEIRtagger:"Milecastle 39 on Hadrian's Wall. It has been dramatically tidied up since this photo was taken. Its walls have been neatly pointed with cement and the grass that tops them in the photo has gone. There have been internal excavations which show the outlines of the foundations of four or five structures. A modern path with steps (the Hadrian's Wall path) comes down the hillside on which the camera is standing, passes round the near edge of the milecastle and heads off up the distant hillside. The three sprawling heaps of stones have gone and the Wall itself has been restored to the height of 3-6 stones - speculate the heaps went to carry out this work?"

per email from Martin Rush 24/08/2020: "Here Peachey styles himself ARPS (Associate of the Royal Photographic Society): he became an RPS Associate in 1930."

{ Buildings & Archaeology / Archaeology & Ancient Monuments (Fort, Ruin/s) - Base of milecastle 39 walls. About 6-8 courses of shaped stones. Walls are similar height all round - does this indicate that some restoration has already been done? } [per: boarshill]
{ Buildings & Archaeology / Archaeology & Ancient Monuments (Fort, Ruin/s) - Cascade of stones - many look shaped suggesting they are from a building. Not present on modern photo. } [per: boarshill]
{ Buildings & Archaeology / Archaeology & Ancient Monuments (Fort, Ruin/s) - Grass growing all along the top of the milecastle walls. Not there today. } [per: boarshill]

{ Landscape / Geography / Hills & Mountains (Hill) - Hill to east. Is that a path climbing obliquely? It's roughly on the line of the modern path. } [per: boarshill]

{ Landscape / Geography / Moors and Deserts (Heath) - Grassed area inside milecastle. Looks like a path or sheeptrack passing between the two gates. No signs of systematic excavation visible to me (but see Comment section at the end). } [per: boarshill]
