57. Fort, Big Chesters, Bowshiel.
This has been an oval or pear-shaped fort (fig. 24) situated 700 yards to the south-east of Bowshiel, on a knoll, and at an elevation of 610 feet above sea-level. It has been surrounded by a single rampart traceable all round except on the west, and has measured some 320 feet by 298 feet. Another fort close to it has apparently been obliterated [NT76NE11].
