Forts, Glenlochar
Three superimposed forts, which coincided over the greater part
if not the whole of the circuit. The first was Flavian and had been
destroyed by fire; the second was Antonine and the third was a
later Antonine modification of the second.
There was an annexe on the north side.
The ditches of the forts show up as dark cropmarks, and the
roads within the fort as lighter marks. The fort is built on the
east bank of the river Ken, and other forts in the region are also
built on east banks, indicating a military force moving
westwards.
In addition to the fort, which was a permanent base, there are
also at least five marching camps at Glenlochar, some capable of
holding more than 3,000 men.
