NS 780 779 Continued investigation of the ring-ditch enclosure (NS77NE 30) S of the Antonine Wall. The adjacent W defensive ditch of Garnhall 2 marching-camp (NS77NE 30) was also examined, at the point where it appeared from aerial survey to run below the Wall itself. However, excavation revealed that the camp ditch terminated in a butt-end 1m S of the Wall, and so may define an enclosure lying entirely S of it. Immediately E of the camp-ditch, and predating it, was a stone platform attached to the S kerb of the Wall which here incorporated an intact culvert, with turfwork surviving to a height of 0.26m (for a similar platform at Tollpark (NS77NE 62.00: NS 770 777) (Keppie and Breeze 1982).
