The relationship of two Roman sites recorded on aerial photographs was investigated. One was a small enclosure c. 30m square, probably a Roman fortlet; the other, a marching-camp of c. 11ha (27 acres) (NT00SE 45); situated on the left bank of the Evan Water, immediately to the W of the Roman road (RR 7f). Trial excavation showed that the presumed fortlet was earlier, its ditch having been cut away by the NE angle of the camp. It was not possible to form an estimate of the interval separating the periods of use of the two structures.

Possible fortlet of late first-century date, measuring about 33m square over a ditch 1.5m wide. Trial trenches dug 1984.
