This almost square camp is protected on its north and east sides by the Longtae Burn and on the south by an unnamed tributary stream. There are three gateways visible on A.P.'s, all protected by external tituli, placed centrally on the east side and off-set to the east in the north and south ramparts, with no gateway discernable in the unbroken western rampart; this camp faced ESE.
