Background
Description
The camps at Pennymuir lie on rough moorland in the Cheviot Hills beside Dere Street, a short distance north of Tow Ford where the Roman road crossed the Kale Water. Camps A and B are considered amongst the best preserved Roman camps in Scotland. These two were first recorded in 1774 by William Roy.
