From the Wikipedia article
Milecastle 32 (Carraw) was a milecastle of the Roman Hadrian's Wall. Its remains exist as earthworks and with no exposed masonry. The layout of the milecastle walls is defined (still quite evident) by robber trenches (to a maximum depth of 0.3 metres (1 ft 0 in). The north wall is beneath a modern wall.

Background
Architecture
Milecastle 32 was a long-axis milecastle though the gateway type cannot be 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). Its dimensions (measured between the edges of the visible platform) are 20 m (long axis) by 16.5 m. The long axis measures 19.5 m between the apparent centre lines of the (still evident) robber trenches giving internal proportions of 10:8, which is normal.
Visiting
The milecastle is on private land abutting the B6318 Military Road, and both turrets are buried beneath the B6318 Military Road.
