Cropmarks on aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1992) have revealed an irregular line of pits running from approximately NO 462 551 to 462 552, south of the Roman Temporary Camp (NO45NE 12). The pits lead up to a semi-circular enclosure which has a very narrow ditch. This enclosure appears as a plantation bank on the 1st ed. OS (Forfarshire sheet XXXII pub. 1865) and the plantation is still visible on CUCAP aerial photographs taken in 1947 (U 84-86). A similar plantation exists at NO 4602 5510 covering a cairn (NO45NE 15).
