Peel Gap Tower, Hadrian's Wall
Peel Gap Tower on Hadrian's Wall from Peel Crags at Steel Rigg near Bardon Mill in Northumberland.
This tower, believed to have been built shortly after the construction of the wall, lies halfway between turrets 39a and 39b. It is thought this low-lying addition would not have been used as an observation post, but may have provided easy access to the wall and shelter for the patrols.
