Although no structural remains certainly identifiable as belonging to a Roman fort have yet been found at Kirkintilloch, the discovery in the Peel Park of numerous artefacts of 2nd century date, associated with streets, gutters and rows of post-holes, suggests strongly that the Roman station, presumably butting against the S face of the Antonine Wall, lay not far from the medieval peel. The position, on the summit of a ridge with a steep descent to the N, is one which would have recommended itself to the Roman military engineers.
