Immediately W of Lintrose House there are the last surviving traces of a Roman marching-camp, enclosing about 26ha and measuring about 625m by 420m. Only a few short stretches of the enclosing rampart and ditch now survive (notably the short sectors of the E and S sides immediately adjacent to the SE angle, where the rampart appears as a bank 6m thick, and a length of about 100m of the N side near the NW angle.
Cropmarks recorded on air photographs, however, confirm and add to the plan drawn by Roy, a gate with a traverse now being known in the E half of the S side, while the slight change in alignment of the defences 160m to the E probably indicates the position of another.
The only other entrance known is the one placed centrally in the W side, now obscured, but depicted by Roy as provided with an external traverse.
