Scope and Content Temporary camp at Castledykes, South Lanarkshire This fort and temporary camps are at Castledykes, near Carstairs. They stand on a plateau overlooking a number of natural routes through the area. There was more than one phase of occupation at the site. The temporary camps are to the N, NE and NW. This is an aerial view of the site showing the one of the temporary camps. Most of the outline can be seen through cropmarks. An entrance can be seen in the middle of the left side. Inside the camp, a second line shows that it was reduced in size. The fort was first built during the Flavian period (1st century), an early period of campaign and was abandoned about AD 86. It was re-built about AD 142. There were minor modifications before it was abandoned c. 160s AD. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
