| Discovered from the air in 1983 on the north bank of the Carron just north-east of the Hills of Dunipace. The ditch was sectioned in 1987 and was found to vary considerably between 6½ to 14¾ ft. wide by a maximum of about 5 ft. deep (c.2-4.5 x 1.5 m). The south-west angle was seen from the air in 1983, the north-west angle was seen as a raised, curved bank still surviving in woodland in 1988, the north-east angle was recorded as a raised earthwork in heavy woodland the same year, and the remaining south-east angle was recorded as a curving scarp within a plantation in 1990; thus the entire perimeter of this very large camp can be extrapolated, with three of its angles surviving as raised earthworks. | ||
