Official information
Segedunum Roman Fort marks the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall and offers visitors a glimpse into Roman history. The site features reconstructed fort structures, exhibitions, and access to the wall itself.
From the Wikipedia article
Milecastle 0 is a possible milecastle of the Roman Hadrian's Wall which may have preexisted the fort of Segedunum at Wallsend, at the eastern end of the Wall. Although its existence has been suggested by historian Peter Hill, no evidence of this milecastle has been found. It is not known whether the decision to establish forts on the line of the wall predated the decision to extend the wall to Wallsend, so it is possible that this milecastle was never built. Alternatively it may have been built and later completely demolished.
