Scope and Content Forts at Dalswinton, Bankhead, Dumfries and Galloway These Roman forts are at Dalswinton, Bankhead. There are two forts dating from the Flavian period almost exactly superimposed. The smaller of the two is earlier, but there does not seem to have been a break in occupation when the larger one was built. This image was taken during the site's excavation. It shows a section of wall. This is thought to have bee part of a furnace. The forts have been excavated and the finds are now in Dumfries Museum. Both the forts are big enough to hold cavalry units. The Ala Petriana, the largest auxiliary cavalry unit known in Britain, may have been based in the later fort. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
