| Greensforge Camp 1 | |||
| SO863885 | (c.170 x 150 m?) | (c.2.5 ha?) | This camp lies between the two forts to the east of the Smestow Brook. Only the eastern corner-angle, about 260 feet (80m) of the north-east side and 165 feet (50m) of the south-east side have been positively traced. |
| Greensforge Camp 2 | |||
| SO863885 | (75 x 60 m) | (0.45 ha) | This small camp lies on the eastern bank of the Smestow Brook in the western portion of Camp-1. The complete circuit is recorded. Its south-east corner-angle has been overlain by the Greensforge Ashford road. |
| Greensforge Camp 3 | |||
| SO865890 | (c.270 x 180+ m) | (c.4.8 ha?) | This camp lies on the eastern bank of the Smestow Brook about 1,050 feet (320m) to the north of Fort-B. Overlain by the Roman road to Pennocrucium (Water Eaton), its circuit is incompletely recorded. Only the western corner-angle, 560 feet (170m) of the north-west side and 330 feet (100m) of the south-west side are known. |
| Greensforge Camp 4 | |||
| SO857880 | (140 x 235 m) | (3.3 ha) | This camp lies about 1,300 feet (400m) to the west of Fort-A on the opposite side of the Smestow Brook. Almost the entire defensive outline is known, only the south-western corner-angle remains unrecorded. |
| Greensforge Camp 5 | |||
| SO856885 | (315 x 420 m) | (13.2 ha) | This camp lies on the west bank of the Smestow Brook about 625 feet (190m) north of Camp-4. The camp faces east and is evidently aligned on the river-crossing. Its defensive circuit is substantial but incomplete; the north-east and south-east corner-angles are undefined. |
