Sunny Rigg 1 Temporary Camp

This perfectly rectangular encampment has four gateways, all defended by external titulum outworks, set centrally in the shorter W & E sides and placed in the longer N & S ramparts off-set to the E on a ratio of 2:1; the camp therefore faced E. The camp lies 150m NE of the Sunny Rigg farm, in the centre of a field sandwiched almost equidistant between the Stanegate to the N and a modern road which passes by on the S. The site has been unaffected by field boundaries since Roman times, but its position, in the middle of a cultivated field, has meant that the camp has been almost completely levelled by ploughing.
