An Antonine Wall fort occupies the summit of Golden Hill. Excavation showed that a fort, measuring 57m by 50m (0.3ha) over the rampart, was preceded by a fortlet 26m square (0.06ha) and that both were built prior to the construction of the Antonine Wall in this sector. An annexe on the W measured 78m by 57m (0.4ha), but the precise date of its construction was not established. Lower down the hill on the W (NS 494 727) a bath-house was discovered in the late 18th century.
