-
Description
"....The camp 400m SSW of Sills Farm is part of a large network of Roman military sites clustered around Bremenium Roman Fort and Dere Street. The camp is well preserved and is a good example of its type. It will contribute to our understanding of the Roman conquest and occupation of northern Britain.... The monument includes a Roman camp situated on a gentle south-east facing slope above the steep banks of the Sills Burn to the east and alongside Dere Street, the Roman road from Corbridge to Newstead in Scotland. The camp is rectangular in shape with rounded corners and measures a maximum of 150m east- west by 130m north-south within an earthen bank 3.5m wide which stands 1.5m high above the bottom of an external ditch 3.5m wide...." -
