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 an aerial view of the site. The main fort is in the middle of the image, cut in two by the line of trees. Below the fort are the ditches of a smaller annexe. Further annexes are above and to the left of the fort. 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.
