Scope and Content Fort and temporary camps at Newstead, Scottish Borders The fort at Newstead is one of the most important Roman sites in Scotland. There are four phases of occupation with forts being demolished and rebuilt. There are also several temporary camps to the S and E, some of which are joined to annexes of the fort. This is a view from the site taken during its excavation. It shows a section of defensive wall from the earlier Antonine phase (2nd century AD). It also shows the multi-phase nature of the site as this wall is built over the defences of the earlier forts. The fort was first built around AD 80, under the governorship of Julius Agricola. It was demolished and rebuilt about ten years later and abandoned again around AD 105. The fort was rebuilt again in the 140s and further remodelled in AD 158 or 163.
