NS 952 797 Aerial photography and excavation have been undertaken in advance of the emplacement of a pipeline through the Scheduled area. Ten oblique shots of the field immediately north of the River Avon, where traces of the Antonine Wall and attendant structures had previously been discovered by excavation (Robertson 1969), were taken on 19 July 1989 in fine conditions by Dr. Ian Ralston. These indicate clearly the course of the ditch associated with the Antonine Wall, and the course of an infilled mill lade once associated with the demolished Jinkabout Mill nearby. Linear soil marks of unknown origin area also visible to the south of the ditch towards the eastern edge of the field.
