NY 21900 75180 The 3.5ha magnetic survey of the field to the immediate W of the extant Roman fort undertaken 2–7 July 2012 recorded the detail of what is probably a substantial part of an earlier phase fort. To its W are a triple ditched enclosure and a probable annexe. The results confirm and amply extend the aerial photographic evidence. Electrical survey to the N of the extant fort in the field by Birrens Lodge indicated some high resistance anomalies, but these are unlikely to be Roman in origin.
The survey, which arose as a result of the former Solway Hinterland Archaeological Remote Sensing Project’s interest in Roman sites in Dumfriesshire, was a collaboration between Glasgow University and staff and volunteers of the Discovering Dumfries and Galloway’s Past project.
