NS 508 723 Cleddans. A Roman fortlet located by trial trenching in 1979 measured internally 18m east-west by 17.6m north-south within a rampart set on a 3.6m wide stone base.
It predates the Antonine Wall which abuts it at the north-east corner at a sharp angle. The north-west corner had been much disturbed by ploughing but the Wall would have joined it some way south of this angle.
