NS 521 725 A length of 40m of the stone base of the Wall was totally excavated, prior to a road development. The base proved to be badly disturbed by ploughing, and survived intact only over a distance of 12m. The base had a width of 5m. Running parallel to it, 1m S of its S kerb, was a U-shaped channel, presumably for drainage. To the N was the Antonine Ditch, here with a width of 7m and a depth of 2.5m, separated from the stone base by a berm of 8.6m. The upcast, c.9.5m wide, thrown out on its N side, served to heighten the N face artificially. Sponsor: Scottish Development Department (Inspectorate of Ancient Monuments).
