From the Wikipedia article
Milecastle 30 (Limestone Corner) was a milecastle of the Roman Hadrian's Wall. Its remains exist as an outward-facing scarp with a maximum height of 0.8 metres (2.6 ft). Masonry from the east wall (both faces) remains in situ. The remaining stretch is 3.1 metres (10 ft) in length by 2.25 metres (7.4 ft) thick, and survives to a height of 0.6 metres (2.0 ft). It is located at the western part of Limestone Corner, just off the B6318 Military Road.

Background
Architecture
Milecastle 30 was a long-axis milecastle though the gateways were never excavated and so the type has not been identified. Such milecastles were thought to have been constructed by the legio VI Victrix who were based in Eboracum (York), or by the legio XX Valeria Victrix who were based in Deva Victrix (Chester). The only stated dimension (with the exception of the surviving east wall) for the milecastle is the North South length of 65.5 ft.
Visiting
Although on private land, the site of the milecastle is visible over a wall adjoining the Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail. Nothing is visible of Turrets 30A and 30B, but their sites are accessible from the B6318 Military Road.
