Scope and Content Aerial view of the Antonine Wall at Seabegs Wood, Falkirk The Antonine Wall stretched from the Firth of Clyde in the west to the Firth of Forth in the east, with 17 forts built along its length to control access to southern Scotland. Between the forts were a series of fortlets and signal stations. The Antonine Wall was built of turf on a stone base with a broad and deep ditch in front of the rampart. It is this ditch which is often the only surviving part of the wall, seen here running through Seabegs Wood near Falkirk. In 1977 an excavation revealed the existence of a Roman fortlet at Seabegs Wood following the discovery of Roman pottery during fieldwalking in the area. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
