Scope and Content Fort at Lyne, Scottish Borders This fort at Lyne is on a plateau above a bend in Lyne Water. It was built to replace the Agricolan fort at Easter Happrew which was abandoned c.AD 86. The new fort was built close to a Roman road built when the area was reoccupied in the 2nd century AD. This is a plan of the fort showing the original layout. The main defences consist of the rectangular rampart with extra ditches to the E and SE. There is an entrance on each side and annexes to the N. The location of some buildings is also shown. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
