Scope and Content Fort at Lyne, Scottish Borders This fort at Lyne is on a plateau above a bend in Lyne Water. It was built to replace the first century fort at Easter Happrew which was abandoned c.AD 86. The new fort was built close to a Roman road built when the area was reoccupied in the 2nd century. This is an aerial view of the site. The E, S and W sides are clearly visible, with defences consisting of a turf rampart and up to three outer ditches. The fort's entrance is in the middle of the E (top) side. The site has been excavated. It was built in the late Antonine period, but only seems to have been occupied for a few years. No inscriptions have been found on the site, but it probably housed a 'cohors milliaria equitata' (cavalry regiment). Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
