Do you mean Bothwellhaugh?
Its not really my period but I think the fort was in use while the Antonine wall was still garrisoned.

Yip thats the one. Why where they there when they had built the Antoine wall? also the build the fort about 600 meteres(or so) from the river clyde, why not nake it on the river boundary? it seems like a more suitable place to me, more natural.

No sarcasm fhaggis. Rivers silt up over time and can change their course.
