Full Description

Nothing obvious in the field N of the road visible from the road. E end floods, west end has tendency to larger stons, but middle flat and obviously "improved" - HAW 8/2004

Report by TC Bell, that claims there is evidence of a Roman camp here at Inchbae, on wahat he suggests is a major E-W route across Scotland in Roman times, based on the River which he then suggests had control systems on it. Suggests that substantial granaries here and that earthworks across the road to the N are evidence of additional marching camp.
The photographs submitted with the report give no clear evidence of this, "ramparts" are probably natural lynchets in side of the river and large stones in river do not appear to form any clear structures. Photo of "marching camp" to N of road shows pasture field, but not cler enough to analyse features - HAW 6/2003
