Discovered from the air in 1995, the outline of this rectangular camp is incomplete, with only three sides being recorded. A long length of the NW side and a shorter stretch of the NE side still survive as earthworks visible as plantation boundaries.

There is a nearby fortlet along the line of the Roman road to the north-east at Tocherknowe (NT1452).

See: Britannia xxvii (1996) p.404.
