(formerly described undwer NS97NW 46.09 AW formerly RRX 505 904 795 to 906 795.)

A small excavation was undertaken on the line of the Antonine Wall in the field opposite to West Beancross Farm in order to establish with certainty the course of the Wall prior to the construction of the Laurieston Bypass. The Wall was found to be in good condition with the ditch 5m to the N. Unusually, the rampart superstructure was composed of clay cheeks with a turf core.
