Croy Hill, Fortlet NS 732 764 NS77NW 9

Situated on a shoulder 80m SW of, and 10m above, the fort on Croy Hill (NS77NW 10), there is a fortlet abutting the S side of the Antonine Wall. Excavation in 1975-8 showed that it measured about 22m by 18.5m within a rampart whose foundations were of one build with those of the Antonine curtain. The structure thus belonged to the earliest phase of the frontier and may therefore have been superseded by the adjacent fort.
