An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in November 2005 near Rough Castle on the Antonine Wall while fencing contractors excavated four postholes for a new gate for the access road. The work area consisted of an opening in the wall across the access road to Rough Castle, with an existing gate and cattle grid. Despite the proximity to extensive Roman structures, there were no finds or features of archaeological significance.
