Abstract
[NT 3472]. Excavation 1946-7 located the fort, which measured 480 ft by 615-595 over the clay rampart, and dated to the Antonine period. Inside it stone barrack-blocks and a stable, with concrete floors and timber partitions, were located, the latter partly overlying an earlier stone granary. One bath-house lay to the E and a second to the S, possibly within an annexe. D J B
