These two camps lie astride Middlebie Hill close to the Annandale Roman road and about 1.5km north-west of the fort and camps at Birrens. Camp I was discovered in 1949 by St Joseph from the air as a cropmark; camp II, which lies within the first, was discovered several years later, in 1966 (St Joseph 1973: 217). Camp I measures 503m from north-east to south-west by 345m transversely and enclosed almost 17.3ha (nearly 43 acres). An entrance gap protected by a titulus is visible on its south-east side, towards the north-eastern end. The second camp lies at an oblique angle to the first, but only 290m of the SSE side, the eastern corner angle and about 45m of the ENE side have been recorded so it is not known if and where it intersects its neighbour. No clear entrances are known.
