Scope and Content Fort and temporary camps at Glenlochar, Dumfries and Galloway This Roman fort is at Glenlochar. It is built on the E side of the river Dee and its location gives it a strategic importance. There appears to be more than one phase of building at the site. There are at least four temporary camps nearby. This is an aerial view of the site. The fort can be seen as a series of crop marks in the middle of the image. Its N annexe lies across the road. Two of the temporary camps can also be seen in this image. One is below the fort, the second to the left. The site was discovered via aerial photography in 1949. Local tradition believed an abbey had stood on the site. It was excavated in 1952. The first occupation was during the 1st century AD. The site was burnt down and reoccupied in the mid 2nd century.
