Scope and Content Fort and temporary camps at Dalswinton, Bankfoot, Dumfries and Galloway This Roman fort and temporary camps are at Dalswinton, Bankfoot. They are built on the level floodplain of the River Nith. Part of the fort has been lost to erosion, though the river itself now follows a different route, to the W of its Roman course. This is an aerial view of the camp. Three camps and part of the fort show up as cropmarks. A side of the largest camp runs down the middle of the image, with a clavicula entrance partway down. To the left of this is a second camp, with entrance. The fort was discovered in 1972 and appears to have had two phases of occupation. On higher ground, less than 200 m to the N is another fort, also Flavian (1st century) in date. This second fort was possibly built earlier. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
