Iron Age Promontory Fort, Camelon.

Excavation was carried out by an Extra-Mural class of Edinburgh University under the supervision of Miss E V W Field [Proudfoot]. The fort is bounded by four concentric ditches: within it were found the foundation trenches of an oval home of greatest diameter 40 ft., a rectangular structure, possibly an open enclosure, and a round house cut through the foundation trenches of the above. All the pottery discovered, without stratigraphic relations to the structure, was Roman from the adjacent fort and annexe.
