Cropmarks of a Roman Temporary Camp discovered during aerial reconnaissance by CUCAP in 1968 and its outline determined by subsequent aerial survey. The camp occupies gently sloping ground on the north of the Lunan Water and is orientated northeast - southwest. Interpreted by St Joseph as part of his 63-acre series of camps, and therefore probably Severan (early 3rd century). The ditch, confirmed by two trenches in 1974, is V-shaped and, where best-preserved, is now about 1.07m deep and 2.44m wide. The camp measures circa 622m northeast-southwest by circa 408m. The whole of the northeast side, including a central gate with titulum, most of the southwest side, with corresponding gate, the greater part of the southeast side, including two gates, each with a titulum and short lengths of the northest side, where the camp occupies ground used as a war-time airfield (see NO65SW0049), and the rounded north and east corners have so far been identified. On the southeast side near the south corner of the camp is a small annexe, common to this series of camps, the northeast and southwest sides of which are laid out obliquely to the main camp and the southeast side having a gate.
