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 an aerial view of the site. The ramparts and ditch which marked the fort and its annex can be clearly seen. In front of the fort is the Wall itself. The Military Way runs through the fort's defences with gates in the E and W ramparts. The site was excavated in 1904. The remains of stone buildings found in the annexe were reburied. Finds are now in the RMS. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
