The camp near Dalnair farm was first recorded from the air by St Joseph in July 1957 (RCAHMS 1963: 107), lying less than 100m to the south of the Antonine Wall, some 200m south-west of the fortlet at Seabegs Wood. It is situated on ground that slopes gently down to the west to the Skipperton Burn, a tributary of the Bonny Water. The camp of Milnquarter lies some 1.5km to the east, and the fort of Castlecary just over 2km to the west.
The whole of the NNW side of the camp, about 145m, has been recorded through cropmarks from the air, along with the rounded corner and a short length of the WSW side and the corner and up to 75m of the ENE side. No information on the likely position of the SSE side has been recorded, although if the camp has similar dimensions to nearby Milnquarter then part of this side could lie under Dalnair farmhouse. There is an entrance gap in the centre of the NNW side, protected by a titulus. The camp probably faced NNW, towards the line of the Wall.
