(Centred: NX 9331 8485) Camp (R) (Site of) Two almost exactly superimposed Flavian forts, each with an annexe attached to its N rampart, were revealed by air photography, and subsequently excavated. The earlier, and smaller of the two, about 600' square, was succeeded by the other, about 600 by 770', without any apparent break in the occupation of the site. The later fort had another annexe on the SE, and a broad ditch extending from the S angle down a steep slope, below the fort, and may have enclosed another annexe on the SW side. Both forts are of a size to have held cavalry units and the later fort may have quartered the Ala Petriana.
