A fortlet measuring c. 54m NW-SE by 39m was recorded from the air near the confluence of the Nith and the Crawick Water; it has a single ditch c. 2.9m wide. The discovery suggests that a Roman road branched from the Carzield-Crawford road at Drumlanrig fort (NX89NE 61) to continue up the Nith. (Information from G S Maxwell)
