The monument comprises the ploughed-down remains of a Roman fort and annex on the S side of the Luggie Water about 150m NE of Mollins
Farm.
The fort measures about 64m E-W by 58m within a ditch 2.3m wide and
0.9m deep. A second ditch defends the S and E sides. On the W side is
an annexe of about half the area of the fort defended by a single
ditch. Excavations in 1977 and 1978 indicated that the fort was built and deliberately destroyed in the later first century AD. The area to
be scheduled includes the fort and annexe, and an area around them within which traces of activity associated with their use may be
found.
The area is irregular in shape and is bounded on the N by the Luggie Water, on the SE by the base of the road embankment and the SW by the field boundary. It measures a maximum of 160m E-W by 140m
transversely, as marked in red on the attached map.
