NS 8966 7958 A field evaluation was conducted in February 1996 on the line of the Antonine Wall in Callendar Park. Five trenches were excavated in order to determine a route for a proposed gas main which would cause the minimum disturbance to the remains of the frontier works. The pipe was to cross the Antonine ditch using an existing built ramp within it: a test trench confirmed that no archaeological deposits would be disturbed here. No remains were identified in the four test trenches excavated to the S of the ditch.

A detailed report will be lodged with the NMRS.
