Barrington Atlas: BAtlas 9 Pinnata *Castra
There has been much scholarly debate over the identification of this site. Barrington Atlas follows Rivet & Smith who claim the Latin 'winged camp' is too generic to distinguish Inchtuthil from many other candidate Roman camps and forts. Richmond and Frere's arguments for Inchtuthil are far more persuasive. RCAHMS adopts their view.
