Cropmarks of a circular enclosure and site of a cairn. Antiquarian reports from Jamieson (Nichols 1780-90), the OSA (1791-9) and Stuart (1856) all mention the existence of two tumuli within a Roman camp, (the other being NO45NE0013). Jamieson describes this tumulus as triangular, entirely composed of gravel brought from a distance, measuring 84 paces around the base. It lay within the camp, facing the west gate, and about 100 paces from it. Cropmarks recorded by CUCAP and the RAF show two concentric ringed soil marks, the outer one being about 50 m in diameter, on the site of the alleged tumulus and are called by St Joseph a 'native site'. When visited by the OS in 1958 nothing was noted as the field was under high crop at the time of visit, but it was noted that the site is on a knoll, and it appears that the outer ring of the cropmarks falls around its base. This mark may have been a ditch or simply a natural water-logged area around the base of the mound. Nothing was visible when revisited by the OS in 1977. Subsequent aerial reconnaissance by the RCAHMS revealed that the second cropmark is an oval enclosure, measuring about 45 m x 35 m within a ditch 4.5 m broad, lying immediately south of the site of the artificial gravel mound.
