The Roman fort at Ardoch is one of the best preserved in the Roman Empire. The remains comprise a rectangular area of around two hectares, surrounded by a rampart and up to five ditches in places. It was occupied by the Roman army on several occasions, and is located by the Roman road which ran north from the Forth-Clyde isthmus. Aerial photographs have revealed cropmarks in the vicinity of the fort, representing up to six temporary marching camps and another probable fort.
