Some Recent Discoveries on the Line of the Antonine Wall

Abstract

It has been possible to map out the actual line of the Roman frontier for many miles with very substantial accuracy. While the dimensions of the stone foundation are fairly constant, the ditch varied somewhat in breadth, as also, and to a much greater extent, did its distance from the northern face of the wall. The results of new excavation aimed at targeting gaps in existing knowledge are presented in three sections: Old Kilpatrick to Duntocher, Bamuildy to Cadder and Falkirk to Inveravon. Particular attention is paid to the discovery of a kiln at Mumrills.
