Twechar, Temporary Camp NS 698 754 NS67NE 11
This temporary camp, identified from cropmarks, is probably one of the labour camps intended to accommodate a legionary detachment building the Antonine Wall; it straddles a ridge 250m S of the Wall, immediately NE of Twechar AC church. The SE side, about 145m in length, and some 105m of the adjacent sides have so far been recognised, but the remainder of the camp lies beneath Twechar village. The total area
enclosed is unlikely to have exceeded 2.3ha.
