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 the foundations of the S wall of a barrack block. This is from the earlier Antonine fort. The rest of the building would have been timber-framed with wattle-and-daub walls. 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.
