Castle Greg

Scraper (tool) (flint)(period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Castle Greg is a preserved Roman fortlet in West Lothian, Scotland, where two deep ditches and a rectangular rampart still mark a small military base beside the B7008. During the first century AD, sentinels likely watched the east-west road beneath the Pentlands from a wooden tower, seeing as far as the Fife coastline before trees closed that horizon. The name may descend from Camulosessa Præsidium, linking the stones to the old village of Camulos and reminding that even a modest guardpost belonged to a much larger imperial reach.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Greg as Scraper (tool) (flint)(period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
