NS 958 797 A pipe-line 300m E of Inveravon Farm, close to one cut in 1976 (see S S Frere 1977), revealed the Antonine ditch which was only 7.5m wide. No trace of the Wall survived. The trench also intersected a known marching camp (NS97NE 14).
S S Frere 1984.
Excavation of the frontier was carried out in August 1983 ahead of the laying of two gas pipelines across the Wall and the adjacent temporary camp (NS97NE 14), 300m E of Inveravon Farm. No stonework was detected although a slipped turfwork was detected at one point. Both lips of the ditch were located in the sides of the pipe-trench, showing a width of c.7.5m. The line is 6m S of that shown on current OS maps.
