Scope and Content Fort at Bar Hill, East Dunbartonshire This Roman fort is built on top of Bar Hill, just E of Twechar. The site offers views to the Kelvin to the N, and E and W to several other forts along the Antonine Wall. Beneath the fort were the remains of an earlier enclosure, possibly also Roman. This is an aerial view of the fort. Most of it appears only as a series of cropmarks, though the remains of two stone buildings are visible. In the centre is the principia or headquarters building. In the lower right corner is the bath-house. Bar Hill is an Antonine Wall fort, but is unusual in that it stands several metres to the S of the Wall and does not physically link to the barrier. The fort was excavated by Sir George Macdonald in 1902 and 1905, with further work done in 1978 to 1982. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
