An ancient two-fingered salute from Agricola's Campaign. This diagonal earthwork cuts across the bank barrow. A temporary Roman Camp was constructed around 80 AD with the bank barrow running right down the middle of it. The diagonal earthwork is the camp's North East "Stracathro" Gate... and it was deliberately sited right across the bank barrow. This site is the only known example (in the world) of a Stracathro Gate surviving as an upstanding earthwork.
