Pasture House turret 3a is a Roman fortification located in Cumberland, England, forming part of Hadrian's Wall defensive system. The turret dates to the second century AD and represents one of the systematically planned milecastle towers that punctuated the Wall's length at regular intervals. The structure would have served as a watchtower and observation post, enabling Roman forces to monitor movement along the frontier and provide communication between the larger fort installations. Little remains of the turret's original superstructure, though archaeological investigation has revealed evidence of its stone foundations and internal layout typical of such auxiliary military installations along the Wall.
