Following the launch of trove.scot in February 2025 we are now planning the retiral of some of our webservices. Canmore will be switched off on 24th June 2025. Information about the closure can be found on the HES website: Retiral of HES web services | Historic Environment Scotland

NS 9190 7940 The characteristic responses produced by the Antonine Ditch along other sections of the Wall are not present at Mumrills, where the feature is barely visible in both magnetic and resistance datasets. The reasons for this are uncertain but natural factors are likely to be responsible. By contrast, the Rampart has produced very distinct magnetic and resistance anomalies, suggestive of an (at least partially) intact base. Evidence for the Military Way is highly tentative and apparent only in the resistance data for two of the survey areas. Both survey techniques have produced generally well defined anomalies associated with the fort ditches and a formerly excavated building inside the fort; in both cases the magnetic results show the greater amount of detail.
