NS 816 794 A low mound attached to the rear of the Antonine Wall within the Guardianship Area was examined, in case it should prove too conceal an 'expansion' of the type known elsewhere on the Wall. Some evidence was obtained for habitation and cooking in the lee of the turf rampart, but no structures were encountered, and how the mound came to be formed was not established.
