(NS 4182 7028) Beneath the Roman fort NS47SW 20.00, Professor Piggott found eight shallow oval or circular pits containing black greasy soil, a flint leaf-shaped arrowhead and a scraper, two chips of Arran pitchstone, and pottery of the type found at Bantaskine, Easterton of Roseisle and Lyles Hill (Belfast). The site is interpreted as an irregular version of the 'ritual' monument, similar to that at Dorchester-on-Thames.
