NS 644 735 Roman Temporary Camp, Easter Cadder (Site): This camp is situated at the north east end of a low ridge, 130m south east of the point where the Antonine Wall crossed Park Burn. No trace of the structure can now be seen on the surface, but most of the perimeter has been revealed by crop marking on air photographs (CUCAP, WA86 WC 2, RCAHMS LA 1414-5: flown 1976, LA 1982-4: flown 1977). The camp measured some 122m in length from north north west to south south east by 113m transversely, the area enclosed being approximately 1.4ha (3.5 acres). The positions of the gates, at least one of which appears to have been protected by a titulum, indicate that the camp probably faced north north west. Although significantly smaller than camps of the series discovered at the end of Antonine Wall, it may possibly have accommodated one of the legionary vexillations engaged in the construction of that frontier.

RCAHMS 1978.

NS 6440 7347 No surface trace across open field under young crop. No crop marks distinguishable.

Surveyed at 1:2500 and 1:1250 from RCAHMS air photographs.
