Two weeks of excavation in August 2009 provided the outline of an annexe to the S of the Roman fort at Carriden. The defences consisted of a V-shaped ditch and an earth rampart with a stone base. An annexe
entrance was found next to the S gate of the fort. The ditch was subsequently filled in and replaced by a water leat or aqueduct. Traces of Roman occupation outside the annexe may have belonged to a vicus.
