STRACATHRO
Angus, Scotland.
Roman
auxiliary fort 5 km SE of Edzell. There are no surface
remains, but crop marks on air photographs show two
ditches on the NW and SW fronts, and three on the SE.
The area within the ditches is ca. 2.4 ha. Trial excavation in 1969 revealed part of a timber building, perhaps
a barrack block, of a single period. The finds included
Flavian pottery and an unworn as of A.D. 86. The fort
was probably built in A.D. 83 and abandoned ca. 87.
