Ythan Wells Temporary Camp 2 (Glenmailen)

data access 12452

1,450 ' x 1,050' temporary camp.

This is a so-called Stracatho style marching camp and is thought to date to the Agricolan campaign of 82-83.   These camps include Dalswinton, Castledykes, Menteith, Dalginross, and Ythan Wells, Auchinhove and Inverquharity.  All of them have distinctive double clavicula protuding entryways.  The right clavical projects outward in a straight line, while the left one projects in an arc.  This type entry was first observed at the Stracatho Marching Camp.
