Wilderness Plantation, Fortlet NS 598 721 NS57SE 11
This fortlet, which was first identified from cropmarks, abuts the S face of the Antonine Wall about half-way between the forts of Balmuildy (NS57SE) and Cadder (NS67SW 16). Excavations in 1965-6 revealed that it had measured 19.8m by 17 .5m within the rampart, which appeared to be of one build with the Wall. The interior was eventually cobbled throughout, but in an earlier phase it had contained hearths and timber structures, presumably barracks for the garrison.
