PENNYMUIR
Roxburghshire, Scotland.
Three
Roman temporary camps beside the road from York to
the Forth at Pennymuir. The two W of the road, 16.8
and 3.6 ha in extent, are well preserved, the smaller one
contained within the other. Each had six gates, a rampart 4.5 m thick, and a ditch of the same breadth.
The third camp, E of the road, was of intermediate size
and had only four gates. These camps presumably housed
the troops who built the practice siegeworks on nearby
Woden Law.
