Antonine Wall – brief description

The Antonine Wall is the most substantial and important Roman monument in Scotland. It extends for some 60 kilometres across central Scotland from Bo’ness on the River Forth to Old Kilpatrick on the River Clyde and marked the north western frontier of the Roman Empire.

The Wall functioned both as a frontier control and military defence. It comprised of a substantial turf rampart built on a solid stone base fronted to the north by a broad, deep ditch and outer mound. To the south of the rampart was a road, the Military Way, which permitted the movement of troops, goods and materials and connected the series of permanent stone built forts which occur at roughly two mile intervals

along its length. Between some of the forts there are smaller forts or fortlets. Camps used by the troops building the Wall also occur at regular distances along the frontier.
