NS 815 793 A watching brief was undertaken by Kirkdale Archaeology of a small excavation within the scheduled area of the Antonine Wall, just to the E of Seabegs Roman Fort, on the 29th of March, 2001. The aim was to dig a small hole, to take a signpost, in a location already chosen by Historic Scotland just to the S of the Military Way (Figs. 1 & 2). The Antonine Wall survives here, for a short distance, as an impressive upstanding monument, with the wall, ditch and its’ upcast, and the Military Way all clearly recognisable. This excavation revealed nothing of archaeological significance.
