NT 1910 7675 It was thought that the lack of Roman features found in the previous survey (DES 2002, 47) could have been due to the ground having been made up to a depth that the survey could not detect, i.e. exceeding 0.75m. Two linear array measurements were later made that detected to a depth of 4m. The first was E-W across the walled garden and showed only the geology. The second ran NW from the grassed area N of the walled garden and recorded low and high resistances in positions that suggest the detection of the two ditches, the wall and building within the fort.

Report lodged with Edinburgh SMR and the NMRS.
