Antonine Wall: Dullatur - Castlecary

Defensive Pits (roman), Frontier Defence (roman)

What is recorded here

Antonine Wall: Dullatur - Castlecary marks Roman defensive pits and frontier defence in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. The official map places the point within one metre, yet the ground itself may hide more than the marker shows. Dullatur and Castlecary still carry the shape of that boundary, where stone, soil and memory lean against each other.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Antonine Wall: Dullatur - Castlecary as Defensive Pits (roman), Frontier Defence (roman). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Built by the Romans in the 2nd century AD, the Antonine Wall between Dullatur and Castlecary was part of the northern frontier of the Roman Empire in Scotland. It is important as a major archaeological and historical site, representing Roman military engineering and the empire's temporary expansion into Caledonia.
