Mortaria shards,Glenlochar
Mortaria were bowls with a rough surface used for grinding
cereals and other food. Due to this rough surface, these
are known as fragments of coarse-ware. These three fragments
of coarse-ware are large, with a white matrix. Two of the sections
are rim sections which show horizontal banding on the exteriors.
Glenlochar Fort
Glenlochar near Castle Douglas was central to the Roman army's
operations in Galloway. A series of temporary camps and a fort
guarded a crossing over the Dee and controlled the routes north
along the Glenkens and west to Loch Ryan and the North Channel.
Limited excavations have produced a range of finds typical of small
forts in northern Britain.
