A newly identified camp (by J K S St Joseph in 1991), E of the known complex and bisected by the A68 road, has an area of over 1.62ha (4 acres). In 1993, excavation revealed the single defensive ditch to be 0.83m deep on the W side and 1.44m deep on the S side; a fragment of pottery was recovered.

Geophysical survey, by Bradford University, established the outlines of a camp of two phases measuring 140m by 225m (3.15ha), later reduced to 140m by 180m (2.5ha). Another linear feature (B on plan) could be part of a further camp, or an element in a field-system.
