Description
he fort was discovered by aerial photography in 1970, identified from cropmarks. At least two phases of ditches are visible, perhaps more, and in the gaps in the later ditch system there seem to be individual postholes of timber gates. The ground slopes away on all sides except the north, where the approach is more level. The fort may have formed part of the 'Stanegate frontier', a system of forts pre-dating Hadrian's Wall. Roman pottery has not been found in various bouts of fieldwalking on the site....
