(c.7.5 ha)		The south-east angle and attached lengths of the adjacent sides of this camp were discovered from in the air in 1981 at the same time as the nearby camp at Millburn Tower. The west and the north sides were proved by trenching in 1984, which enabled the size to be estimated to be about 985 ft. from north to south by 820 ft. transversely, enclosing an area of about 18½ acres.
