Scope and Content Fort on the Antonine Wall at Rough Castle, Falkirk The Antonine Wall stretched from the Clyde in the W to the Forth in the E. The Wall was a linear boundary designed to cut off access to southern Scotland. There were about 17 forts along its length with fortlets and signal posts between. This is a plan of the fort and its annexe. Though the fort is one of the smallest along the Wall the annexe to the E provided extra space for bath-houses and the like. The main defences consisted of a rampart and ditches. The site was excavated in 1904. The remains of stone buildings found in the annexe were reburied. Finds are now in the RMS.
