| Abstract: |
Excavations revealed a number of features associated with a reasonably well preserved section of the Antonine Wall. These included a series of pits on the berm between the Wall and its ditch, parts of a temporary camp, a stone platform attached to the Wall rampart back and what may be a Roman watch tower in an ideal position to act as an observation post and a signalling link between the Wall forts of Westerwood and Castlecary. Includes sections on: The glass finds; Garnhall botanical remains. |
