In July 1987 a gas pipeline crossed the presumed line of the Roman frontier at two points E of Old Kilpatrick Fort. At NS 470 731, beside the gas governor, the ground had been much disturbed, and no archaeological layers were observed. At NS 463 734, beside the A82 boulevard, the results were similarly negative, probably because the ground had already been cut away to secure a level terrace for the A82. The alignment of the Antonine ditch is visible as a hollow N of the boulevard. There were no small finds.
