The fort is located partly in a field east of Carriden House and in Carriden House gardens c 80m from the coast edge on the top of the raised beach. A fort was seen on aerial photographs in 1945. Trial trenches confirmed its presence and Roman pottery has been found here in the past. No remains are visible on the ground and the field is under cultivation. This site is not threatened by coastal erosion.
Site recorded by GUARD during the Coastal Assessment Survey for Historic Scotland, 'The Firth of Forth from Dunbar to the Coast of Fife' 19th February 1996.
