A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Halton Shields from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
Milecastle 20 (Halton Shields) was one of the milecastles on Hadrian's Wall. It is situated in the hamlet of Halton Shields, and was excavated in 1935. There is no visible trace of the milecastle above ground. Halton Shields was a township in the ancient parish of Corbridge. In 1866 it became a separate civil parish. In 1887 it was abolished as a civil parish and its area was absorbed into the parish of Clarewood. [edit] Research Tips
