These cropmarks were previously described as a possible house platform.
(Undated) information in NMRS.
Aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1983, 1986, 1990, 1992, and 1994; C Martin 1994) has revealed the cropmarks of an unenclosed round-house and what may be a souterrain on the line of the eastern rampart of the Roman fortress at Carpow (NO21NW 24.00) and some 300m ENE of Carpow House (NO21NW 66.00).
The round-house is represented by an oval macula about 8m in maximum diameter, which has been observed in several seasons of aerial reconnaissance. The possible souterrain, however, tends to be a more shadowy feature, but it is quite well-defined on photographs taken in 1983; these show the course of the passage curling round the N side of the round-house from a point on the SW, and disappearing at the edge of the fortress ditches on the NNE after a distance of about 20m.
Information from RCAHMS (JRS), 4 February 1997.
