| NO209196 | (88+ x 58+ m) | (>0.5 ha) | Recorded on aerial photographs in the late-1960's, this small camp lies on the north bank of the Tay opposite the vexillation fortress at Carpow. Its north-western corner-angle together with a 290 ft length of the west side and 190 ft. of the north are all that remain. In 1982 a billion tetradrachm of Claudius II from the Alexandria mint dated AD268/9 was uncovered near Pitfour Gardener's Cottage, St. Madoes, and in 1994 a small hoard of denarii ranging from Vitellius (AD69) to Commodus (AD180-192), was found by metal-detectorists about 1½ miles to the west of the camp at Inchyra; it is not known whether the coin finds and the camp are related but it remains a distinct probability. |
