Woodhead, Temporary Camps NT 384 638 NT36SE 18 & 36
Air photography has revealed 'a complex of temporary structures' to the SE of Woodhead farm. It comprises a small camp of about 1.5ha set on the crest of a narrow promontory, with a polygonal outer work enclosing a further 6ha on the N and W. There are 'Strathcathro type' entrances in the NE and SW sides of the small camp and on the W side of the outer work. Several lengths of ditch have also been recorded to the E and NE of the smaller camp.
