Abstract:
The line of the Antonine Wall has been confirmed and found to correlate most closely with investigations carried out by the Centre for Field Archaeology (CFA). Of the main elements only the Ditch has been conclusively detected and appears most clearly in the magnetic data. Limited, more tentative evidence for the Rampart has been identified, again primarily in the magnetic data, in the field adjacent to Wester Shirva Farm. No clear evidence for the Military Way was found in this field. Further eastwards the Rampart is likely to run under the modern road, while the Military Way and any possible associated features lie in a field that was largely unsuitable for survey. Resistance survey in the field next to Wester Shirva farm produced anomalies that might indicate part of a rectilinear enclosure. Surface obstructions precluded the expansion of the survey area, thus the true nature and significance of these anomalies cannot be fully assessed.
