Description
Summary:The two camps at Dullatur (FIG. 1), near Cumbernauld, lie on a north-facing slope, some 400 m south of the Antonine Wall, between Westerwood and Croy Hill. The excavation was undertaken in 1998 by Headland Archaeology in advance of the development of the site for housing. The work was conducted in accordance with the detailed specification prepared by the West of Scotland Archaeology Service (WoSAS) on behalf of North Lanarkshire Council. The area of the development comprised two zones: one coincident with the site of the two camps and a smaller area (not illustrated) to the north-west.
