Millside Wood Temporary Camp

Marching or Temporary Camp

This site is either two adjacent camps or one camp with an annex.  Roman Brittain refers to them as Ulston Moor 2,and 3.

First site discovered by professor St. Joseph in 1972, this large camp lies about ½-mile north-west of the Cappuck fort close to Camp #1, but on the north side of Dere Street.

This second small camp was discovered adjacent to the other camp, from the air by J.K. St. Joseph and was first reported in 1977. It lies within the camp discovered in 1972 and is oriented south-east to north-west.
