Scope and Content Roman fort at Newstead, Scottish Borders The fort at Newstead, known to the Romans as Trimontium, is one of the most important Roman sites in Scotland. There are four phases of occupation with successive forts being superimposed on one another. Guarding the point where the Roman road crossed the Tweed, Newstead is the second-largest Roman fort in Scotland. Four distinct phases of occupation, shown here in plan, were found by James Curle in a series of excavations undertaken between 1905-10. The fort was first built around 80 AD, when Julius Agricola was Governor of Roman Britain. It was demolished and rebuilt about ten years later and abandoned around 105 AD. The fort was rebuilt around 140 AD and further remodelled in 158 or 163 AD. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
