Scope and Content Fort and temporary camps at Dalswinton, Bankfoot, Dumfries and Galloway This Roman fort and temporary camps are at Dalswinton, Bankfoot. They are built on the level floodplain of the River Nith. Part of the fort has been lost to erosion, though the river itself now follows a different route, to the W of its Roman course. This is an aerial view of the site. The double-ditched fort can be seen as a cropmark on the left of the image. There is an entrance halfway down the long side. In front of the camp can be seen part of a large camp, with a clavicula entrance. The fort was discovered in 1972 and appears to have had two phases of occupation. On higher ground, less than 200 m to the N is another fort, also Flavian (1st century) in date. This second fort was possibly built earlier. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
