Battledykes, Oathlaw, Temporary Camp NO 458 555 NO45NE 12
This temporary camp, which has been associated with the campaigns of the emperor Septimius Severus (c. AD 208-11), is situated on the S shoulder of the ridge separating the Lemno Burn from the River South Esk; it wholly encloses the home fields and steading of Battledykes farm. Roughly trapezoidal on plan, it measures a maximum of 930m from NE to SW by 630m transversely (c. 53ha). Titula have been recorded at five of the camp's six gates, the one situated opposite the easternmost gate on the NW side being the only part of the camp which is visible as an upstanding earthwork.
