A Roman temporary camp was visible in parchmarks in June 1939. The camp, 1 1/3 acres in extent, is situated on a gravel terrace behind the farm buildings of W Gallaberry (NX98SE 69). Excavations carried out by St Joseph in 1952 established that the camp measured 64m by 110m, with an entrance 6m wide in the S side.
