Milecastle 50TW (High House) was a milecastle on the Turf Wall section of Hadrian's Wall (). ==Description== Milecastle 50TW was a milecastle constructed as part of the turf wall section of Hadrian's Wall, and is situated to the west of Birdoswald fort.〔( MILECASTLE 50 (TW) ), Pastscape, retrieved 4 December 2013〕 It is unique in being the only original turf wall milecastle where the stone wall milecastle built to replace it was not constructed on the same site; this is due to the divergent nature of the original turf wall, and replacement stone wall at this reach. The replacement stone wall milecastle, milecastle 50 was built some to the north. All milecastles on the turf wall section of Hadrian's Wall were thought to have been constructed with turf ramparts, with a wooden tower over the north gate.〔 There are no visible remains of Milecastle 50TW, however a corresponding causeway across the wall ditch is discernible; one of only two milecastles where such a structure survives, the other being Milecastle 25.〔 A wooden culvert was initially used to allow water to flow beneath the causway, but this was later replaced with a stone culvert.〔
