The fort began in the first half of Hadrian's reign as a small cohort fort facing S, and had its garrison reduced during the occupation of Scotland. Early in Marcus Aurelius's reign it was reoccupied; rebuilding as a supply base for the Scottish campaigns of Severus followed, then came reversion to cohort occupation, and alteration of many granaries to living quarters, under Severus Alexander. In later 3rd century occupants of the vicus appear to have moved into the empty fort. From mid-4th century to 5th military use intensified with the Numerus Barcariorum Tigrisiensium in occupation. Catalogues of decorated and coarse wares, many coins, mortaria stamps, lead seals, and glass are provided.
