NS 688 755 A geophysical survey at Shirva Farm was initially conducted immediately to the N of the B8023 road. this was to confirm the route of the Antonine Rampart and to test whether evidence of possible extensions of the wall-base, projecting to the S, could be detected. Results did not confirm the Rampart route but its alignment in the fields to the E and W seems to indicate that its most likely track is mainly through the main field and that it crosses the B8023 at the Board Burn.

NS 688 755. The alignments of the wall, ditch and Military Way, E of Shirva Farm, were plotted by resistivity survey in the hope of locating an interval fortlet or other installation, without result. The wall appeared to lie S of the position given on current OS maps.
