NS 8827 7995 In April 2007 an evaulation was undertaken on the Antonine Wall at Bantaskine. Investigation of a hole created by removal of a tree and trial trenching (to a depth of 100mm) aimed to define the depths of the upper deposits prior to scarification works.
In May 2007 (4 Camelon Road) two trenches were placed at right-angles across the line of the Wall at Arnothill. The N lip of the ditch was found as well as the remains of the upcast mound. The latter had a bipartite structure, with more stone in its N section. The line of the frontier was found to be c20m S of the line shown on the current OS maps.
