This Camp is dated to the Agricolan campaign and was the first to be identified as such. Its shielded exterior gateways were used in the camps at Dalswinton, Castledykes, Menteith, Dalginross, Ythan Wells, Auchinhove and Inverquharity.
This fort for a short time in the late 80s AD represented the northernmost permanent outpost of the entire Roman empire. It was part of the The Gask frontier, made up of a line of forts and watchtowers which stretch from Doune near Stirling to Stracathro in Angus1.
