Air photography (RCAHMSAP 1983, 1988 and 1989) has revealed the cropmarks of an enclosure within the interior of the Roman temporary camp NY18SW 11.00 and about 200m N of Lochside steading (NY18SW 115). Subrectangular on plan, it measures about 40m from NW to SE by 35m transversely within a ditch up to 1.5m broad. Some of the aerial photographs (NMRS B116127-8) suggest the presence of a circular structure in the W corner of the interior.
