There are two Roman camps of great interest just west of Carvoran near Greenhead that are just south of the Stanegate frontier road these are most unusual from the fact that both have gateways with Tutulus and Clavicular gate ways into them, these camps are earlier than the wall and helped to cover the Tipalt burn gap just west of the Stanegate fort of Carvoran they are known as Glenwhelt Leazes and Chaple Rigg camps.
They can both be seen on Google earth very clearly and not so far apart the Glenwhelt one is now within a golf course and they are the only ones anywhere in the area or in the north of England I would think no others that I have heard of.
