Roman Fort Found North of Hadrian’s Wall

From The Jerusalem Post:

Ruins of a Roman “fortlet” built along the Antonine Wall may have been used as part of the empire’s defense against the unconquered Scottish lands to the north, according to a March statement from GUARD Archaeology. While the fortlet was originally discovered in the back gardens of three homes in Bearsden, Scotland during 2017 excavations ahead of various property development projects, the complete findings were recently published in Archaeology Reports Online. 

The Antonine Wall, constructed on the orders of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius in the second century CE, was a defensive border built to separate the conquered southern Scotland from the unconquered lands to the north. However, about 20 years after its construction, the wall and its fortifications were abandoned by  the Romans during their retreat south to Hadrian’s Wall. (Read more.)
