Milecastle 31 (Carrawburgh) was a milecastle of the Roman Hadrian’s Wall. Its remains exist as a turf covered platform beside (and partially covered by) the B6318 Military Road, just to the east of Carrawburgh fort (adjoining the car park). Carraw seems to be a Cumbric name cognate with Welsh carrau ‘rocks’
