Eskbank, Temporary Camps NT 321 668 NT36NW 34
Two superimposed temporary camps, which were first identified from cropmarks on the S side of the River North Esk opposite the Elginhaugh fort (NT36NW 61 & 83), are now largely covered by housing developments. The intersection of the ditches on the E side of the two camps was excavated in 1972. Of the earlier camp, only the NE angle and short lengths of the N and E sides are known, the latter including an entrance with a titulum; it has been suggested that the later camp may extend to about 25.5ha, although only the N side, the NE and NW angles, and parts of the adjacent sides have been located.
