The remains of a small temple dedicated to Antenociticus, a local deity, can be seen nearby, and the original causeway over the Vallum, or rear ditch.

Additional building or repair work in the late-2nd century was done by Legion Legio XX Valeria Victrix based at Chester.

From 205 to 367 a five-hundred-strong auxiliary cavalry unit (Ala I Hispanorum Asturum) recruited from the Astures tribe in northern Spain, was stationed here after being at South Shields.

The causeway, still visible today, had a large monumental non-military gateway located halfway across the vallum and with some of the best dressed stone on Hadrian's Wall.

It is believed that the apse contained a life-size statue of the god, as a full size head was found, together with the fragments of an arm and a leg.

Just south of the vallum causeway a large domestic building was found, believed to be a mansio (inn for official travellers).
