NS 581 718 A section was cut across the Wall between the NW angle of Balmuildy fort (NS57SE 12) and the R. Kelvin. The stone base of the Wall was 4.25m wide; a layer of cobbles overlying the turfwork at a height of 0.3m. If this cobbling was a Roman feature, it seemed possible that it might have been connected with a way up to the top of the Wall near the river crossing. One piece of a Roman grey jar. and a green glazed medieval potsherd were found in loose soil.
