Scope and Content This image shows a cropmark record of the gate on the south side of this 16.2 hectare Roman camp, with its distinctive clavicular entrance and oblique transverse ditch and bank. This site became the site-type for this feature as the 'Strathcathro-type'. It is thought to date to 1st and early 2nd century AD, possibly during the campaign of Agricola as Roman governor of Britain. The photo also shows the remains of extensive broad rig cultivation running obliquely over the camp ditches. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
