NS 4950 7273 to NS 4959 7265 The published survey (OS 50 inch 1970) was revised. A 15m length of the Outer Ditch is preserved in parkland at the extreme NW corner of the fort defences (see NS47SE 12). It is 4.5m wide and 0.5m deep, with a slight inner bank. A vague hollow marks the line of the main ditch in front of the fort and fortlet sites; it is shown as extant on the 1st edition of the OS 2 and a half inch (Dunbarton 1862, sheet 23/6) and the 2nd edition of the OS 2 and a half inch (Dunbarton 1899, sheet 23/6). The course was adjusted to accord with the excavated findings at NS 4956 7267.
