Milecastle 66 (Stanwix Bank) was a milecastle on Hadrian's Wall (). ==Description==
Milecastle 66 was situated on the north, Stanwix, side of the River Eden in Carlisle. The site is near the cricket ground.〔Mark Richards, (2011), ''Hadrian's Wall Path: Two-way national trail description'', page 187. Cicerone Press. ISBN 1849654263〕 In Roman times there was a bridge crossing the Eden at this point.〔Frank Graham, (1979), ''The Roman Wall: comprehensive history and guide'', page 178. ISBN 085983140X〕 On the south side of the river was the Roman fort and town known as Luguvalium. In the 16th century, William Camden noted remains of the bridge as "within the of the river, mighty stones the thereof."〔 When the Eden was dredged in 1951, nearly 100 stones were recovered. Most of these dredged stones can be seen today in Bitts Park.〔 Milecastle 66 was seen by Thomas Pennant in 1772, when he passed through Carlisle on his way to Scotland. He describes the milecastle as "vestiges of some dikes describing a small square, the site of a fort to defend the pass".〔 There are no visible remains of the milecastle today.〔
