One of the watchtowers in this area. Unfortunately only the foundations remain. Nevertheless, the information board there provides very good information. Very interesting.

Here are the foundations of one of the watchtowers on the Limes Trail. This tower is the northernmost on the Limes Trail. The year of completion can be determined precisely from an inscription found during excavations. The inscription reads: The Brittones Triputienses dedicated this tower to the Emperor Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Pius, son of the deified Hadrian, the highest priest, in the 8th year of his tribunician power, the consul and father of the fatherland, when Clarus was consul for the second time and Severus was consul. (146 AD) The tower was therefore built by a British auxiliary force that was apparently responsible for this section of the Limes and was dedicated to the Emperor Antoninus Pius, who had the Limes moved eastwards four years later. Some fist-sized stone balls were found here, which may have served as a defense.
