I'm not sure but can I take it that what your saying is where 10 men are in residence it may have taken so many more to have built and established these camps. This may well be correct for I am sure that where the Roman army established itself in an area it would not only have to build accomodation, but they would also have to create a signal and intelligence network.
This is indeed what I refer to with many small camps in the wall area that have been considered as accomodation for troops building the wall, which for smaller ones is not exactly the case for when we look at the topography of an area it becomes a bit more clear just what they are and there is in many cases a more permanent and larger fort or establishment to be protected.
