| Girvan Mains - (East) | |||
| NX192992 | (396 x 375 m) | (14.85 ha) | Discovered from the air in 1976, this camp was investigated on the ground in advance of road construction in 1983. The south side lay close along the shore of the Girvan Water and sadly, the south-west corner-angle and part of the south side have been lost to erosion. This gives the camp an almost square outline with the north-south dimension being slightly the greater. |
| Girvan Mains 2 (West) | |||
| NX188991 | (213+ x 137+ m) | (c.21 ha) | Discovered from the air and investigated on the ground in 1981, this camp was found to possess a typical Roman military V-shaped ditch about 4¼ ft. (1.3 m) wide with a drainage slot in the bottom. A fragment of a glass jug-handle found in the ditch is probably of first-century date. |
