(NT 548 169) Roman Temporary Camp, Cavers Mains: Aerial photography has revealed a Roman camp on the E end of a ridge, at 500 ft OD, at Cavers Mains. About 1,000 ft of the SE side, 600 ft of the NE side, with the rounded angle between them is visible as a cropmark, with a slight change in direction in the SE side at a gate with a tutulus.

The remainder of the NE side (some 1,050 ft long), the rounded N angle, and part of the NW side have now been recorded.

There are no surface remains of this camp. The site is now under plough.
